Kingston's Enough is Enough campaign is working to minimise gambling harm in our community.
We are seeking community input into the actions Council should take as part of this campaign.
The Draft Gambling Action Plan 2021-2025 has been developed to support the application of Council’s Gambling Policy 2020-2024 and Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2021-2025 (currently in draft). An objective within the Public Health and Wellbeing Plan is to reduce harm from alcohol and other drugs, smoking and gambling.
Why is Council taking action on gambling? A range of lifestyle activities can impact negatively on individual and community health. The impacts on the community of liquor consumption, use of illegal drugs, tobacco smoking and gambling are of most concern to Council. These activities contribute to the burden of preventable diseases, are linked to family violence and social isolation. The specific focus of this action plan is on reducing gambling harm.
Gambling harm is defined as “any negative consequence or side effect that comes from gambling, which can range in severity from momentary feelings of guilt or regret right through to extreme outcomes, like bankruptcy”. There are many types of gambling harm including financial harm, relationship difficulties, health problems, emotional or psychological distress, issues with work or study, cultural stresses and criminal activity. A person can experience gambling harm as a result of their own gambling or someone else’s.
Summary of the Draft Gambling Action Plan
The Draft Gambling Action Plan 2021-2025 proposes 16 actions across the five priority areas of advocacy, awareness raising, partnerships, alternate activities to gambling and policy and processes. You can read the full draft in the Document Library on this page.
