17.01.2022 The ANU Centre for Gambling Research is very proud to release these powerful animations in our 'You're not alone' series. As the Melbourne cup stops the nation for a day, think of the many people and families whose lives are impacted on a daily basis by gambling in Australia. These animations (1/3) are part of our Gambling Support Study, where we have used the real voices and experiences of women we have interviewed to understand how gambling impacts partners and family members of gamblers. Creating these animations was an exercise in research translation, as well as reducing stigma and promoting service use for those experiancing harm from gambling. The project was funded by the 2019 NSW Responsible Gambling Grants Program. If you are experiencing gambling harm - call 1800 858 858 for support.
