To recognise Gambling Harm Awareness Week (24 to 31 October), you're invited to a free online screening of Shaun Micallef's Going For Broke, a powerful ABC documentary exploring the impacts of gambling harm on individuals, families and communities. 

Following the screening, a lived experience gambling reform advocate with the Alliance for Gambling Reform, will facilitate a panel discussion with gambling harm prevention experts, lived experience advocates and researchers. 

Participants will gain practical insights into recognisng and reducing gambling-related harm and will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with panel members during a Q&A session. 

The event aims to increase community awareness of gambling harm, encourage people to view gambling through a public health lens, and provide information and resources that can support prevention and early intervention efforts.
