About the standard

This new health sector standard will enable uniform and consistent collection and use of gambling harm intervention service data.

The standard defines requirements for the collection, access to and reporting of gambling harm intervention service data to meet the needs of gambling harm intervention providers and the populations they serve across the motū.

It constitutes minimum data requirements for gambling harm intervention service management systems.

Supporting materials

SNOMED CT is the standard clinical terminology for use in New Zealand. Accordingly, this standard uses SNOMED CT in relevant data elements.

New concepts will be released in the April 2025 SNOMED NZ Edition to support this standard.

We welcome feedback on this new SNOMED content

Next steps
