The APS recognises that gambling forms part of an entertainment and tourism industry and is a significant source of revenue to government and private enterprise. However, we also consider gambling to be an important public health concern due to the considerable harm it can cause to individuals, families, and communities.
The APS is dedicated to advancing the discipline and profession of psychology for the benefit of our members and the community, and we advocate for change when policies cause harm to mental health and wellbeing. We therefore aim to promote evidence-informed policies that minimise the adverse consequences of activities such as gambling.
Our response to this Inquiry draws on the practice of psychologists working in the gambling counselling services field, and on psychological research on gaming, gambling and gambling-related harm.
