Shonica has always wanted to be part of a collective of likeminded people that are just as passionate as she is about raising awareness and making a difference around gambling harm, and that’s why she is very excited to be a part of GHLEE.

GHLEE operates on the unceded, sovereign lands of the First Peoples of the land now known as Australia. We acknowledge their generosity in sharing their land with us. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Their hurt and that of their peoples endured since colonisation has been unfathomable.

Gambling harm is just another way Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been affected by colonisation. Some studies suggest gambling harm rates of between 10 to 20 times higher among the Indigenous population. Much like tobacco and alcohol’s health impacts, this disproportionate harm is inexorably linked to intergenerational trauma, poverty, unemployment, and factors such as the easy accessibility of gambling venues in certain communities.
