Gambling Care

Gambling Care (formally called the Gambling and Financial Counselling Service) is a free counselling service provided to members of the community who are experiencing problems with gambling and the associated financial difficulties that are often encountered as a result.

Gambling Counselling

Rather than, or in addition to, talking to a counsellor on the crisis line, people make appointments to see a counsellor and then meet with the counsellor at the Gambling Care office in Civic. The problem gambler and/or his or her family are offered guidance and support. In addition, we have a community education program to raise awareness about problem gambling.

Financial Counselling

Through financial counselling we assist clients to gain control of their financial situations. This may include negotiating with creditors on your behalf; exploring options such as reducing payments, loan consolidation, bankruptcy; and improving general financial management skills.
