People with gambling problems can experience harm because of gambling in different parts of their life which include financial, health, relationships, education and employment, social and psychological well-being. It is estimated every person who has a gambling problem will affect six people.

General Practitioners (GPs) play an important role in identifying people with gambling problems and can refer them to available resources. GPs are invited to attend this webinar to improve their awareness of gambling harm, so they are equipped to offer solutions to help those in need.

Although this webinar is applicable on a national scale to GPs, the content of this webinar will focus primarily on NSW resources and services available.

This webinar is proudly funded by the NSW Government.

This webinar will cover:

  • What is Gambling Harm?
  • Prevalence of Gambling and public health impact in Australia and NSW
  • Case studies and screening tool examples
  • Use of psychoeducation
  • Co-morbidities- psychological, physical, and social
  • Strategies for referral
