Responsible Gambling Ambassador: David Schwarz

The ALH Group is committed to providing responsible gambling in our venues. Whilst gambling is enjoyed by the majority of people responsibly, ALH acknowledges that problem gambling is a serious community issue and that a small proportion of customers are harmed by their gambling activities.

The ALH Group has engaged David Schwarz, a well known ex AFL footballer and media identity as its Responsible Gambling Ambassador to provide employee education and customer awareness about the importance of "being honest with yourself about your gambling."

ALH will continue to develop balanced businesses, offering patrons an overall entertainment experience including where appropriate, dining, drinking and gaming activities. Our goal is to ensure our hotels provide a safe and supportive environment where our customers make informed decisions about gambling and timely appropriate assistance and information is provided.

About David Schwarz

Recruited from Sunbury, Schwarz made his AFL debut in 1991. "If you followed Melbourne, you embraced David Schwarz. Simple as that. The 'Ox' was everything supporters wanted in their heroes; brave and exuberant, honest yet spectacular", wrote the Herald Sun's Mike Sheahan at the end of the 1999 football season.

Schwarz played 11 seasons with the Demons, although two were virtually lost due to 3 well-documented knee reconstructions. David played State of Origin in 1999 and in the same year played in all the clubs 22 games, which culminated in him winning the Club's Best and Fairest award.

David appeared regularly on Channel 9's 'The Footy Show", Sunday Football Panel and also appeared as a regular analyst with Triple M. Since retiring from football, David is still heavily involved in the media. Since 2005, David has co-hosted SEN's Drive time program, 'The Run Home' each week night. David is part of the special comments team and game day analyst for Channel 7. David also writes a popular weekly column for football magazine 'Inside Football'. David has been a passionate advocate for Gamblers Help and is involved in with Cricket Australia and many AFL Clubs in highlighting the importance of responsible gambling.

ALH Group and David Schwarz

The ALH Group is committed to providing responsible gambling in our venues and has implemented a nationwide responsible gambling initiative with David Schwarz.

The program with David is based on real life experiences, not the replication of research or statistical analysis.

David has completed an accredited RSG course and will provide additional support to existing state based initiatives.

Key elements of the program include:
	State venue manager and staff meetings covering David's personal experiences and learning's with the aim of assisting our staff in interacting with problem gamblers. ALH will invite interested community groups, welfare agencies and local government representatives to many of these meetings.
	Venue posters and other material highlighting the importance of "being honest with yourself about your gambling."
	Working with ALH management to further identify opportunities where we can proactively assist those who have a problem with their gambling.

 

ALH Group donates $200,000 to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal

ALH Group has announced today that it will donate $200,000 to assist in providing emergency relief in fire-ravaged Victoria.

ALH will donate $100,000 to The Salvation Army Disaster Relief Fund, and $100,000 to The Red Cross State Government Bushfire Appeal Fund.

CEO Bruce Mathieson Senior said:

“The bushfires have created one of the most tragic events in Victoria’s, and Australia’s history.

A number of our Hotel staff have lost their homes in the fires and many of our employees are working long hours as volunteers or in fire crews.  Some ALH staff have friends and neighbours who have been badly impacted by the bushfires.

In addition to the $200,000, a large number of Victorian ALH Hotels are planning local activities to support and help those in need of assistance. Our thoughts are with all those who have suffered unimaginable losses.”
