The Commission is committed to a public health approach to prevent gambling harm, guided by its five-year Strategy for Gambling Harm Prevention: A Public Health Approach 2019-2024. This Strategy relies on the development and delivery of evidence-based, co-ordinated activities and initiatives addressing harm as experienced by people who gamble, their families and the community.
Research is commissioned and sourced from a number of areas including:
- The ANU Centre for Gambling Research

- Projects funded through the Gambling Harm Prevention and Mitigation Fund . Priority areas for support through the Fund are presented in the Commission’s Research Agenda 2021 – 2024
