Children 0-14 living in a household where a language other than English is spoken

According to the 2021 Census there are 1.2 million children 0-14 in Australia who live in a household where a language other than English (LOTE) is spoken *. AusPlay has collected information about more than 5,000 children in LOTE households.

The following pages tell us more about how children 0-14 in Australia who live in a LOTE household participate in sport and physical activity and how, if at all, that has changed.

The graphs on this webpage use these symbols to highlight statistically significant changes in the last year:

• Statistically significant increase since 2021–22
• Statistically significant decrease since 2021–22

*Based on the assumption that when the parent/guardian says they speak a language other than English at home, the whole household is classified as LOTE.
