HopeStreet Gambling Help currently offers two vital services: Gambling Help as well as Financial Counselling.

A gambling problem can be identified by spending more money on gambling than is affordable as well as spending too much time gambling. Gambling problems may not be easily disclosed but could be accompanied by social difficulties, relationship issues, financial problems, housing and legal difficulties, mental health issues including depression, anxiety and suicidal thinking.

Financial counselling is available to assist with financial issues from problem gambling.

Our professional Gambling Counsellors deliver face to face, telephone or online counselling. No referrals are required.

Treatment for Problem Gambling

strategies for harm minimisation (controlled gambling) or abstinence (quitting completely)

Follow up sessions to support recovery goals
Self Exclusion Programs, which apply to approximately 35 venues (including AHA hotels and Clubs NSW) if requested

Support for Family & Friends
