For families, partners, and friends
Staying safe and protecting your finances
When a loved one is gambling, it’s vital to look after yourself, stay safe, and protect your finances. Even if you trust your family member, partner, or friend, gambling harm may change their behaviour. Evidence suggests a correlation between gambling harm and domestic abuse, including financial abuse (Australian Institute of Family Studies). It’s critical to take precautions that can help minimise the impact that their gambling may have on you.
Starting the conversation
Are you worried about a family member, partner, friend, or colleague’s gambling? If you’re concerned about someone else’s gambling, talking to them about it can be a helpful approach. But where do you start with what can be a sensitive topic?
