The purpose of the Preventing and Minimising Gambling Harm: Practitioner’s Guide (Practitioner’s Guide) is to:

  • clarify aspects of the service delivery for preventing and minimising gambling harm clinical interventions
  • detail the screening and clinical practice requirements for service providers.

The term ‘provider’ refers to organisations that have a preventing and minimising gambling harm (PMGH) intervention service contract with the Ministry of Health.

It is important to note that the Practitioner’s Guide is intended as a guide only. The Practitioner’s Guide indicates the Ministry of Health’s intentions for PMGH intervention services and is a guide to typical client/tangata whai ora pathways and practices.

This document is intended for the PMGH intervention service providers.
