Victorian Population Gambling and Health Study

CQUniversity and ORC International
This research has been commissioned by the 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.

The State of Victoria regularly commissions large general population studies to monitor gambling participation and behaviour, as well as the health and wellbeing of gamblers. Because of their representativeness, these large cross-sectional studies provide the most accurate population level evidence to inform prevention, intervention and treatment policies, programs and activities.

This new population study will build on previous research, and provide further data related to the work of the Foundation and for the broader research, policy, treatment and prevention communities regarding gambling patterns in Victoria. It is expected to inform a range of research studies and policy directions and serve as a mechanism for forecasting demand for treatment services and required prevention activities.
