Gambling Harm Action Week 2024
The South Australian Government is leading a transformative conversation about gambling harm during Gambling Harm Action Week (GHAW), taking place from October 27th to November 2nd, 2024.
This year’s theme, “Let’s Change the Conversation,” emphasizes the critical role of language in reducing stigma, supporting individuals and families affected by gambling harm, and ensuring that the terminology we use encourages those in need to seek help.

The campaign features YouTube videos distributed through Human Services SA. For more information, view the video here: Gambling Harm Action Week 2024 - V2 (Long) #GamblingHarmAwareness
The per capita expenditure on gambling in Australia is alarmingly high, and the poverty traps resulting from gambling harm, especially during a cost-of-living crisis, are unacceptable in a fair and just society. It is imperative that we continue to address these issues and support those affected.

Reflection of the Week - 08 July 2025
Paul tries to create some “audiovisual aids” for this big message, which he calls “churches” (a term Jesus used only twice, found in Matthew 16:18 and 18:17). Paul knows we need living, visible models of this new kind of life to make evident that Christ’s people really follow a way different from mass consciousness.
