Evaluation of the Queensland Responsible Gambling Strategy

An evaluation of the Queensland Responsible Gambling Strategy (the Strategy) is a key element of the enhanced gambling harm minimisation initiative announced by the Queensland Government on 17 April 2008. This initiative brings together a range of measures that aim to minimise the potential harmful impacts of gambling and combat the State's growth in gaming.

The Strategy was launched in February 2002. The Strategy aims to address social issues arising from the rapid growth in gambling, minimise the likelihood of social problems that may arise from gambling, and provide support for those who encounter problems with gambling. Since its launch, significant progress has been made towards achieving Strategy objectives.

In recognition of the changing nature of the Queensland gambling environment, the Queensland Office of Gaming Regulation is undertaking an evaluation of the Strategy. This evaluation will examine the performance and effectiveness of the Strategy, and the ongoing relevance of its content, structure and vision. The evaluation will also look at revising the Strategy to better reflect current social, environmental and technological changes, and align with contemporary public health approaches to responsible gambling. Such revisions will help to ensure that the Queensland government maintains a robust and innovative Strategy that continues to address the adverse impacts of gambling on individuals, families and communities.

While the evaluation of the Strategy will be informed by various research methodologies, the most significant is the opportunity to engage with stakeholders throughout Queensland. A Discussion Paper has been developed to facilitate consultations. Please download the attached PDF of the Discussion Paper, your feedback and comments on the evaluation are sought.

Feedback/comments can be given online at http://www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au or sent to QRGS Evaluation, QOGR, Locked Bag 180, CITY EAST QLD 4002 (CLOSING DATE 31 JULY 2008).
