Every contribution makes a difference

Did you know that Anglicare has been supporting Tasmanians for 40 years?

Set up in 1983 by the Anglican Church, we began as a tiny organisation that offered a Debt Help service.

Today, we support children, families, individuals facing challenges in their lives and older Tasmanians across the entire State.

It’s clear that Tasmanians need our services more than ever.

'The poker machine card. Simple as' Report

This report looks at the universal player card gambling system for poker machines that the Tasmanian Government has committed to implementing by December 2024.

Drawing on the experiences of Anglicare Gamblers Help workers and clients, this report shows how the card will reduce the significant harm caused by poker machines.

The report explains:

  • How the card will work
  • How it will give all poker machine users greater control and better information
  • The four critical features needed for the card to be effective
  • Why Tasmania needs a poker machine card
  • How the card will benefit everyone in the Tasmanian community, whether or not they use poker machines
