This study, by Central Queensland University, was commissioned to review and inform potential improvements to Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG) practices in NSW.  

The research methodology included:

• a rapid literature review of academic papers and grey literature;
• an online survey of over 2,000 venue staff who had undertaken RCG training in the past five years and were employed in a NSW club or hotel at the time of the survey; and
• focus groups with venue staff working in NSW clubs and hotels.

This report details results from a large general population survey on gambling participation, gambling problems and gambling-related harm in the state of Victoria, Australia conducted between September 2018 and January 2019.

This research project suggests that there are reasonable grounds for concern as there is a clear link between gambling advertising and the attitudes, current and likely future behaviours of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

Based on these findings, Ipsos MORI has identified 18 recommendations for industry, regulators and researchers.

Australian National University (ANU) has conducted research in NSW and the ACT on the impacts of gambling-related harm on loved ones, friends and work colleagues.

In 2019 the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation (VRGF) surveyed Victorians about their attitudes and perceptions on gambling.
