Gambling
Over 7% of survey respondents indicated that a member of their household has gambled regularly within the last 12 months, with
losses more than they can afford. This is largely consistent with the results from 2010 (8%) but is lower compared to the 2006
survey (13%).
Of those that identified gambling losses in their household in the 2014 survey, 80% stated that more than $100 per fortnight is
lost as a result of gambling.
