This document contains briefing materials on the Murphy Committee's recommendations regarding online gambling harm reduction, prepared for the Minister for Communications between April-May 2025. The recommendations address structural and regulatory reform across six key areas: establishing a single ministerial responsibility holder for online gambling harm reduction; developing a comprehensive national harm reduction strategy within twelve months based on public health principles; creating national regulation with a dedicated online gambling regulator funded through levies on wagering service providers; establishing a public education campaign through existing government channels including the Student Wellbeing Hub; expanding research capacity through the Australian Institute of Family Studies to develop risk indicators and conduct prevalence studies on vulnerable groups; and requiring online wagering service providers to disclose de-identified customer data. The document appears to outline the government's response framework to the Murphy report's recommendations for coordinated national action on online gambling harm.
