This FOI release contains ministerial briefs on online gambling reform provided to the Minister for Communications between May and October 2025. The documents outline a consultation on wagering advertising reform undertaken in 2024 and detail an Online Gambling Inquiry with five key recommendations. These include: consolidating online gambling harm reduction responsibility under a single minister; developing a national harm reduction strategy within twelve months based on public health principles; establishing national regulation and a dedicated online gambling regulator funded by levies on wagering service providers; developing a national public education campaign targeting young people; and resourcing the Australian Gambling Research Centre. The briefs note that gambling regulation responsibility is shared between Commonwealth and state/territory governments, with Commonwealth authority split between the Communications Minister (Interactive Gambling Act 2001) and the Minister for Social Services (gambling harm policy). Contact details for the Media Policy Division are provided.
