The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is working with researchers from Federation University who have developed two surveys to better understand the costs involved for clubs and participants.
Survey One – For all participants that engage in sport. This can be any age however parents or guardians will be asked to complete the survey on behalf of participants aged 12 and under.
Survey Two – Is for clubs and organisations to understand how much it costs to deliver your sport.
The survey results will be used to assist the ASC to work in partnership with the Australian sport sector to better understand the costs to play and the costs to deliver community sport.
