WA Gambling support

Lotterywest works in partnership with Centrecare in Western Australia to provide local support services for Gambling Help WA.

Centrecare’s Gambling Help WA is a free service for people affected by problem gambling, their partners and families.  It offers a supportive environment to talk about the impact that gambling has on their lives as well as the opportunity to learn new ways to manage their behaviour.

Individual and couples counselling

Regular counselling sessions are offered to individuals, their partners or family members to discuss concerns about their gambling behaviour.

Groups

People wishing to gain skills and confidence to control gambling behaviour in a supportive group environment may access this program.  The group program is run over 10 weeks and provides participants with the opportunity for personal development, insight and learning through structured exercises.

Culturally appropriate service

Centrecare aims to provide a respectful and culturally sensitive service and interpreters are available on request.
