Minimising Gambling Harm

Please note changes to regulations issued under the Gambling Act 2003 impact some of the resources listed below.

The Health Promotion Directorate are coordinating with the Department of Internal Affairs to update Gamble Host resources impacted by the new regulations. These will be made available as they are updated. The Gambling Harm Reference Card – A4 and folded postcard have been reviewed and reflect the updated Signs of Gambling Harm that Class 4 venues need to be aware of.  

Please see the DIA website for more on these changes here.

Our Safer Gambling Aotearoa campaign aims to increase awareness of the early signs of harmful gambling and encourage people to seek help and take positive action early, both for themselves and for others they care about. Safer Gambling Aotearoa encourages people to choose to do something about harmful gambling.

The Health Promotion Directorate promotes these messages at a national level and works with various services around the country to promote these at a local level.
