Non-government organisations currently contracted to deliver Queensland Government-funded Gambling Help problem gambling counselling and support services (face-to-face, Helpline, residential or online) are invited to apply for funding from a total pool of $150,000 excluding GST. Project proposals can be for any amount up to $50,000 excluding GST, and each organisation can submit multiple project proposals.The Gambling Help Innovation Fund (GHIF) has been established to support and build capacity in non-government organisations in the delivery of effective and innovative Government-funded Gambling Help services. Funding under the GHIF aims to support innovation in primary, secondary, and tertiary initiatives (as per public health approaches to gambling) delivered within the GHSS.
Intended outcomes of initiatives funded under the GHIF include:
• Improved service access for vulnerable and at-risk groups;
• Reduction of service delivery gaps;
• Improved outcomes for clients;
• Increased community awareness of problem gambling and how to get help; and
• An enhanced evidence base regarding effective problem gambling interventions (through research).
Initiatives developed under the GHIF will complement other Gambling Help initiatives developed by the Queensland Government and Gambling Help services but will not duplicate activities already adequately funded under current Gambling Help service agreements (either through the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors or DJAG). Projects funded under the GHIF will operate under an outsourced social services delivery agreement.
