Our Problem Gambling Counselling Service provides help for anyone affected by problem gambling, including the partners and families of gamblers. It is a free and confidential service funded by the NSW Casino Community Gambling Fund.
How do you tell if you or a member of your family has a problem with gambling?
- Do you gamble to escape worries or when you're bored?
- Do you think of gambling as another way to get money to solve financial problems?
- Have you tried unsuccessfully to stop gambling?
- Do you gamble until the last dollar is gone?
- Have you ever lost time from work due to gambling?
- Have you ever borrowed or taken money to pay gambling debts?
- Are your family and friends trying to get you to stop gambling?
- Do you lie about the amount of time and money you spend gambling?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then the problems you are experiencing may be gambling related.
We are trained professionals, here to help you make positive changes in your life. One of our team is bilingual in Arabic, and interpreters can be arranged for other languages if needed. 9 to 5 and after hours appointments are available, and a problem gambling support group runs on Thursday evenings. Lifeline Western Sydney also offers free and confidential financial counselling. For an appointment, telephone 9891 6212 during business hours.
