Project Status
The VPGHS is a cross-sectional, representative survey of Victorian adults that primarily aims to estimate the prevalence of gambling participation, problem gambling risk levels and gambling-related harms in the Victorian community. This survey provides the most accurate population level evidence to inform prevention, intervention, treatment and support policies, programs and activities. In 2022, the ANU and the Social Research Centre were commissioned to undertake the latest iteration of the survey. This represents the fourth in the timeseries with previous surveys being conducted in 2008, 2014 and 2018.
The report is to be released in 2024.
