This project investigated the relationship between gambling and intimate partner violence
by men against their female partners. The project involved interviews with participants from
metropolitan and regional areas from across all jurisdictions in Australia. Participants were:
• 48 women who had lived experience of IPV that was linked to their male partner’s
gambling, 18 of whom focused their interview mainly on economic abuse
• 24 women who had lived experience of violence by a male partner that was linked
to their own gambling and who used gambling venues as safe spaces to escape IPV
• 5 men who had used gambling-related IPV against a female partner
• 39 service providers from domestic and family violence services, gambling help,
financial counselling and other relevant allied services (From the report). The full report is available on the Project page. Record #8935
