GambleAware Week 20th to the 26th of October 2025

Come down to our office at 303c Grey Street (next door to The Local) on Wednesday 22nd October from 10:00am until 11:00am and have a cuppa and a chat with our GambleAware team as a part of GambleAware week (20th - 26th October).

Our team supports anyone affected by gambling harm or at risk of developing issues with gambling. This can include the gambler themselves as well as any friends or relatives. As gambling harm is usually associated with other underlying issues such as depression, anxiety and trauma, clients accessing support through this program receive holistic mental health support and/or Financial Counselling with trained professionals.

Referrals are open (with no age restrictions), so they can come from any source including self-referrals.

For more information contact our office on (02) 6739 7700 or email us at gleninnes@centacarenenw.com.au.
