Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation is a statutory authority created by the Victorian Parliament to address the challenge of gambling harm in the Victorian community.

They work with partners and communities to inform people about the risk of gambling, and to provide support to those who need it, including people affected by someone else gambling.

Research tells us gambling harm is not confined to people with severe gambling issues. In raising awareness of the risks and potential harm from gambling, we focus on the community as a whole.

We want as many Victorians as possible to be able to recognise the early signs of harm, understand how gambling can get out of control, and know how to get help if they experience harm.

GAMBLERS HELP Gambler’s Help provide a range of services for people experiencing harm from gambling in Victoria.

This includes support tailored to the needs of individuals and communities at particular risk of harm.

Funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, services include online, telephone and face-to-face counselling, advice and information.

For more information or to access Gambler’s Help services please call Gamblers Help Southern on 9575 5353 or gamblershelp.com.au

In 1852, the emigrant vessel Ticonderoga limped into Port Phillip Bay after a nightmare voyage from England during which a quarter of her nearly 800 passengers and crew died from typhus. A young ship’s surgeon stayed to nurse many passengers back to health, at great personal risk. This one-man play tells one of our great maritime stories from the wonderful writer and actor Michael Veitch.
