Sport and Recreation

Sport and Recreation

The Sport and Recreation industry sector has the highest population participation rate of any sector as it is the favoured use of free time and a recognisable part of the Australian psyche is an affinity to sport and outdoor activities.

The sector is dominated by approximately 2/3 of micro businesses that have 4 employees or less and there is a high level of casual and part-time employment. The Sport and Recreation sector has a high reliance on goodwill from generally lower paid small businesses, community participation and volunteers. Volunteers are estimated to out number employees in this sector on a 4-to1 basis.

The sector can be divided into four sub sectors:

1. Community Recreation

2. Fitness j0262369

3. Outdoor Recreation

4. Sport
