ALLIANCE FOR GAMBLING REFORM
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE STAND FOR
The Alliance for Gambling Reform is a national advocacy organisation working to reduce gambling harm in Australia. We partner with other organisations and with local councils to reduce the alarming level of gambling harm in Australia, we work to change the laws and rules governing the gambling industry.
We do not seek to ban gambling. Rather we seek to influence government to minimise the harmful behaviours of the gambling industry and to give voice to those who are impacted by gambling harm.
We are a registered health promotion charity and are funded by donations and grants from individuals, foundations, trusts, local government and other sources that do not have ties to the gambling industry. We are not affiliated with any political party.
​
For the past 10 years The Alliance for Gambling Reform has advocated for public health reforms that are evidence-based and community-backed with the sole purpose of reducing and preventing gambling harm in Australia. Online gambling is increasingly becoming one of the biggest health issues we are facing as a country.
​
Our Purpose: To provide national leadership promoting action to prevent and reduce the harm from gambling in Australia
