Gambling Advertising Legislation Victoria

Advertising in 2018–19 will support the TAFE Victoria brand by encouraging Victorians to explore the opportunities for learning, development and advancement offered by Victorian TAFEs through the TAFE Will Take You There campaign, and the new Free TAFE for Priority Courses initiative.

It consists of the Queen, represented by the Governor of Victoria, the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. The Inquiry into Interactive and Online Gambling and Gambling Advertising (JSCGR, 2011) subsequently recommended a ban on promoting live odds during sport, and a mandatory national code for wagering advertising covering inducements to bet, responsible gambling messages, and restricting certain forms of advertising.
