Gambling harm affects one in five people.

Whether it's poker machines, sports and race betting, online gambling, or lotteries and scratchies - what starts as a bit of fun can slowly build over time.

When people who speak a language other than English experience 16.4% of the harm, we need to work together to reduce the number of those impacted.

If gambling harm is affecting you or someone close to you, our team can help connect you with the right support. We work with trusted services that support both individuals and families, and we’ll work with you to find the option that best suits your needs.

Visit gambleaware.nsw.gov.au for resources on gambling harm, or go to fairfoundations.org.au/what-we-do/community-hub to find out how we can support you.

Meet The Fair Collective.

We believe young people are the experts in understanding the challenges and opportunities in their communities. The Fair Collective brings members together to make a real difference for local youth, families, and the wider community in Greater Western Sydney.

From sharing ideas and speaking up about issues affecting young people to shaping initiatives, events, and programs — our collective is here to create lasting impact.

If you're a young person aged 16–24 and you live, study, or have connections to Greater Western Sydney, you can be part of the change. Visit fairfoundations.org.au/what-we-do/youth/youth-advisory-group/.

Struggling with NSW fines? There may be another way forward.

Through our Work and Development Order (WDO) program, we support eligible individuals to reduce their fines by taking part in approved activities — instead of paying them directly.

As an approved WDO sponsor in NSW, our team will assess your situation and work with you to create a personalised plan that fits your needs.

Activities can include:
• Digital skills training
• English conversation classes
• Sewing classes
• Gardening Program
• Volunteer roles

Take a practical step towards reducing financial pressure and building new skills.

Take on Three Peaks NSW 2027 and help local children keep climbing at school.

Nearly one in three children in South West Sydney live in poverty, and more than one in four children in Fairfield are developmentally vulnerable.*

Across one unforgettable weekend from 9–11 April 2027, you’ll trek 22 km through the spectacular Snowy Mountains while raising funds for Learning Together, Fair Foundations’ free after-school learning program for local primary school children.

Your fundraising will help provide free homework, reading and maths support from qualified educators. Every kilometre you trek and every dollar you raise helps local children build skills and confidence at school.

Sign up before 28 October 2026 to save $75 on your registration fee!
