Sport is an important part of many Australians’ lives. But involvement in and enjoyment of sport is not limited to playing or participating. Many of us take on those essential jobs – non-playing roles such as coaches, officials, administrators and team managers – that keep community sport running week in week out all over the country.
This report provides an overview of volunteering in Australian sport. It examines how many volunteers we have, what their demographic profile is, which roles are most common, the sports that attract the most volunteers and where the opportunities lie to increase the number of Australians becoming involved in sport volunteering.
