The Australasian Gaming Council (AGC) is a national industry body that aims to support a sustainable gambling industry providing entertainment and economic benefits while promoting gambling education, responsible gambling awareness, quality gambling research and evidence-based policy. The AGC was established as 'The Australian Gaming Council' by leaders of the gambling industry in June 2000 and its members come from major sectors of the industry including licensed operators, wagering providers, technology providers and manufacturers, hotels and casinos (in Australia and New Zealand). In November 2007, the organisation changed its name to the Australasian Gaming Council to encompass New Zealand member casinos.
