The Australian Gaming and Screens Alliance (AGASA) is a national, independent, and not-for-profit group that strives to support and educate teachers, clinicians, and the general public on how to prevent, assess, and address gaming and screen-related disorders through evidence-based treatments. Our mission is to promote national efforts to combat harm and raise awareness about the importance of responsible gaming and screen use. AGASA is a Health Promotion Charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC).
We seek to advance health through four key strategic areas of focus:
Monitoring and Treatment
promoting the monitoring, prevention, control and treatment of problem gaming and gaming disorder and related technology- and screen-based behavioural addictions and disorders;
Evidence Based and Multi-Disciplinary Research
providing evidence-based, multi-disciplinary information and advice to support individuals, families and schools in the diagnosis, prevention, control and treatment of gaming disorder and related technology- and screen-based behavioural addictions and disorders, and to promote healthy gaming and the use of related technologies;
Awareness and Early Action
raising public awareness about harmful gaming and the symptoms of gaming disorder and related technology- and screen-based behavioural addictions and disorders, including how to identify problematic gaming and screen-based activities that involve risks and may lead to such disorders;
Prevention and Education
raising public awareness about how to harness the healthy use of technology and avoid harmful use with a view to preventing the occurrence of gaming disorder and related technology and screen-based behavioural addiction.
