Victoria gambling regulator sets out priorities in annual plan

The VGCCC has presented its Annual Plan for 2025–26.

Australia.- The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) has released its Annual Plan for 2025–26. The regulator said it’s focused on ensuring that gambling is conducted “fairly, safely, and free from criminal influence.”

The VGCCC’s 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.

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.

VGCCC CEO Suzy Neilan said: “This year’s plan reflects our ambition to be bold, intelligence-led, data-driven, and deeply connected to the communities we serve. We’re evolving how we regulate, using smarter tools, stronger partnerships, and a sharper focus on harm minimisation to protect Victorians.”

“We’re not just regulating, we’re modernising how regulation is done. By aligning our work with the Statement of Expectations and our core priorities, we’re making sure our efforts are proactive, transparent, and focused on long-term community benefit.”
