A new baseline has been established with the 2023-24 data. It cannot be directly compared with figures from 2015-2023.
AusPlay collects national, state and territory data on over 600 different participation sports and activities in Australia and who is participating in them.
In July 2023 AusPlay shifted from phone to online data collection. This major methodological transition introduced a break in the time series and trends re-started with the October 2024 release of inaugural results (2023-24 financial year) from online data collection. Following this, new data will be released every six months.
On 30 April 2025 the Australian Sports Commission released new national, state/territory and sport data tables for the 2024 calendar year. Accompanying reports will be published in the coming weeks.
Please note that the current releases of online results have overlapping data and therefore time series comparisons cannot be made until the first two discrete data collection periods (the 2023-24 and 2024-25 financial years) become available in October 2025.

Data table notes
As a new baseline was recently established, the depth of reporting for initial releases will be limited to national, state/territory and sport data tables. These are more detailed than past tables given they are the only output available at this stage. More outputs, including a new data portal and sport reports will be built over time.
Some results from new questions added in AusPlay’s online questionnaire are not yet available in the data tables due to insufficient sample across one year of data collection (e.g. non-binary gender) or the need for further data review (e.g. volunteer hours).
Next data release
Scheduled for late October 2025 for data collected July 2024 – June 2025.
