Looking for things to do outside of non-traditional working hours? Shift: The Work Life Balance could be the project for you! Our next event is at Toora 17 August. Council is running Shift: The Work Life Balance workshops to engage with people who work non-traditional hours such as shift workers and truck drivers. Learn more about opportunities available at Shift: the Work Life Balance.

Shift: The Work Life Balance is a program funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation and aims to promote the gambling-free activities for people to do in their spare time

Opportunity for the attendees

These events will provide an opportunity for attendees to meet with other people in their community who also work non-traditional hours and to discuss any shared interests. Research shows that people working non-traditional hours are at four times greater risk of choosing gambling as a source of entertainment during their time off and as a consequence are at great risk of experiencing gambling harm.
