Wherever you are in the country, free and confidential support for your gambling is never far away. Getting some help is just a text, phone call, or Zoom away...

Safer Gambling Aotearoa

Our Services

Some people find it helpful to have a chat with someone who understands what it’s like to live with gambling stress. Sometimes you'll only need one session to put a plan in place. Or if you need some extra support, you can get ongoing counselling free of charge.

You can get support for your own gambling, and also if you're affected by someone else's gambling.

All of the services listed below are contracted by Te Whatu Ora | Health New Zealand to provide free and confidential support.
