Join us as we speak to members of our community and reflect on the AIRwaves project, which was funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation to raise awareness and promote discussion in regional communities about the potential impact of gambling on families and how to prevent gambling harm. 

We spoke on the radio and held online and in-person events in eight regional communities across the state.

In the course of our work we discovered that these different and very diverse communities all had something in common: many among them were keeping their gambling secret, or believing there wasn't a problem because it's legal and everyone does it.

Instead of acknowledging the harm caused by gambling, many were instead blaming alcohol and illicit substances, or simply their own rotten luck.

This project has highlighted the urgency and importance of this issue across the state, and to that end we have changed our name to Family Drug & Gambling Help.
