Background to the report
The report presents a snapshot of community clubs across sports and activities in all Australian states and territories. It is based on self-reported assessments of club operations, governance, finances, and participation. It aims to quantify the state of the sector, highlight patterns, and guide decision-making for governments, peak bodies, and community stakeholders.
The data collected shows that a significant portion of the sector is battling to survive. Among a range of alarming results, survey responses point to declining volunteer commitment, increasing volunteer burnout, faltering fundraising and pressure on participation.
