The Government has a number of measures underway to explore solutions to problem gambling, including: • A Commonwealth/State review of gambling issues • Coordinated initiatives to assist people with a gambling problem, including a national website, online counselling and free telephone counselling, and • A Productivity Commission inquiry into Australian gambling issues. Problem gambling is an issue the Government takes seriously and the effectiveness of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 will be monitored in the face of new developments.
