Hobsons Bay, VIC The Digital Switch Senior Gambling

The Digital Switch program asks volunteers to serve as digital mentors to seniors with identified gambling dependence. Digital mentors socialize with participants and oversee activities that distract from electronic gambling options. Council officials are working with local organizations on events that reduce senior isolation and addiction. Hobsons Bay is recruiting digital mentors during the COVID-19 outbreak for post-pandemic implementation.
