SAFER GAMBLING AT CAZALYS
GAMBLING HARM AWARENESS WEEK
July 21st – 27th 2025
Gambling Harm Awareness Week (GHAW) runs from 21–27 July 2025. It’s a time to shine a light on the impact gambling can have, share safer ways to gamble, and remind people that support is available if gambling starts to become a problem.
This year’s GHAW theme is ‘Protecting young people from gambling harm – it starts with you’. It’s a reminder to parents, carers, teachers, and loved ones that we all play a role in helping young people understand the risks and stay safe.
It’s no secret that gambling is popular in Australia. Young people are often exposed to it through TV, social media, video games, apps, and even people they know. When gambling is everywhere, it can start to feel like an easy way to win, or just harmless fun – even though the risks are serious and real.
Protecting young people starts with all of us.
If you’re concerned about a young person in your life, there are ways to support them. Try having open, honest chats about gambling and the risks involved. These conversations can help them make informed choices and develop a healthy perspective on gambling.
