Gambling Regulation Review

468 Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (29 November 2018). What are the priorities of the government in developing and implementing phase 2 of the Gambling Harm Minimisation Strategy?

1. What is the time frame for this implementation?

2. What does success look like for the implementation of phase 2 of the Gambling Harm Minimisation Strategy and what are the key performance indicators of the strategy?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): The Minister for Human Services has provided the following advice:

The priority for the government in implementing phase 2 of the Gambling Harm Minimisation Strategy is to ensure that patrons from diverse backgrounds are aware of the role that gaming venue staff have to support them to prevent gambling harm.

Engagement between venue staff and patrons can encourage individuals to seek help from services to reduce the further incidence of gambling harm occurring. Phase 2 will target the development of information materials aimed towards identified priority groups, through consultation with the gaming sector and Survey prevalence data.

The timeframe for Phase 2 of the Gambling Harm Minimisation Strategy is late June 2019.

Success for Phase 2 of the Harm Minimisation Strategy will be the distribution of the Phase 2 gambling harm minimisation materials in all gaming venues across South Australia. The Office for Problem Gambling is considering research initiatives in 2019 that will explore gambling trends and patron awareness of the initiative.
