Australia.- The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) has released its Annual Plan for 2025\u201326<\/strong>. The regulator said it’s focused on ensuring that gambling is conducted \u201cfairly, safely, and free from criminal influence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VGCCC\u2019s priorities listed in the plan include modernising digital infrastructure to reduce red tape and improve service delivery, enhancing intelligence-led regulation to better detect and respond to risks and strengthening harm reduction through education, engagement, and enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic projects include a five-year public awareness campaign to educate and empower communities about gambling harm, technology upgrades to make regulation more efficient and responsive and supporting mandatory carded play and pre-commitment reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VGCCC CEO Suzy Neilan<\/strong> said: \u201cThis year\u2019s plan reflects our ambition to be bold, intelligence-led, data-driven, and deeply connected to the communities we serve. We\u2019re evolving how we regulate, using smarter tools, stronger partnerships, and a sharper focus on harm minimisation to protect Victorians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not just regulating, we\u2019re modernising how regulation is done. By aligning our work with the Statement of Expectations and our core priorities, we\u2019re making sure our efforts are proactive, transparent, and focused on long-term community benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
