Centrepay – A Good Idea that’s Lost its Way

This report documents a virtual policy roundtable held with representation from the gambling industry, government, financial counsellors and therapeutic gambling counsellors, the gambling and mental health helplines, regulators, coroners, banks, peak bodies, people with lived experience, and others touched by gambling. The purpose of the roundtable was to consider what each sector could do, and what could be done collectively, to reduce gambling-related suicide.

This report is based on the experiences of money management workers and financial counsellors working with clients in remote Indigenous communities and the importance of fee free ATMs in those communities.
