was thrilled to meet Alan last week. Alan is walking from Ballarat to Canberra to raise funds and awareness for men’s mental health.

You can find Alan on socials, documenting his journey and parts of his story under the moniker .

Supported by his partner Kelly, Alan will reach Parliament House on Sunday, November 19 which is International Men’s Mental Health Day, where he will take part in the 2,500 Too Many Project. The project will see 2,500 pairs of shoes laid out on the lawn of Parliament House, representing the lives of men and young boys tragically lost to su***de.

Thank you for coming in Alan and speaking to our CEO Trish and spreading much needed awareness.

Gambling Harm Awareness Week 2025 is a reminder of the importance of setting limits to reduce the risk of gambling harm to yourself and others.

Every time before you gamble, set a limit and stick to it.

You can also set limits by:
- spending only 2 per cent of your take-home pay on gambling
- gambling no more than once a week
- sticking to 2 different types of products.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Gambling Harm Awareness Week 2025: Play Smart with ‘Set Before You Bet’!🎲

Join us in supporting by encouraging responsible gambling. This year's campaign focuses on empowering Victorians to set limits before they play.

The 'Set Before You Bet' campaign provides key insights into the importance of limit-setting and practical strategies to stay safe. We’re also addressing how gambling products encourage extended play and debunking myths about skill and knowledge.

Let’s help each other recognise the risks and seek support if needed. Together, we can make informed choices and promote safer gambling habits.

Join us during Gambling Harm Awareness Week to learn more about responsible gambling practices and how you can contribute to a safer gambling environment.
