The Office for Recreation and Sport (ORS) undertakes
research to assist both Government and industry to plan for
the provision of policy, programs and services to the recreation
and sport community.
As a member of the Standing Committee on Recreation
and Sport Research Group (SRG), ORS collaborates with other
State/Territory recreation and sport agencies and the Australian
Bureau of Statistics to undertake research into the social,
health and economic benefits of recreation and sport.
More information on the role, objectives and
priorities of the Standing Committee on Recreation and Sport
Research Group (SRG) can be found from their website link
below. This website includes access to a range of research
reports.
ORS also contributes to the collection of annual
participation statistics through its commitment to the Exercise,
Recreation and Sport Survey (ERASS). In partnership with the
Australian Sports Commission and other States and Territories,
ERASS data is collected quarterly and published annually and
provides information on the participation habits of Australians.
Copies of the annual ERASS reports dating back to 2001 can be downloaded from the link below.
