For many, seeking formal support for gambling can be a difficult step, but also a life-changing one.
An Australian Gambling Inquiry found that only 8–17% of people with gambling problems seek professional help. While there are a lot of great options available, it can be difficult to know what to expect, what’s appropriate and how to access support.
