Sports industries
The ABS conducted a survey of organisations involved in sports and physical recreation industries in respect of 2000-01. It was an important year for these industries in Australia with the conduct of Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games.
For the purposes of the 2000-01 survey, the industries included were:
- health and fitness centres and gymnasia
- other sports and physical recreation venues, grounds and facilities
- sports and physical recreation administrative organisations
- sports and physical recreation clubs, teams and sports professionals
- sports and physical recreation support services.
Government involvement in sport and physical recreation activities was also measured.
At the end of June 2001, there were 7,147 employing organisations involved in the provision of sport and physical recreation activities. These included 3,668 organisations in the 'for profit' sector, 2,849 in the 'not for profit' sector and 630 government organisations (table 21.40). 'Not for profit' organisations predominated in the sports and physical recreation administrative organisations industry, in which all organisations were 'not for profit', and in the sports and physical recreation clubs, teams and sports professionals industry, with 81% of organisations being 'not for profit'.
During 2000-01, the total income of organisations in the sports and physical recreation industries was $8,466m. This income included that generated by organisations involved in the 2000 Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games. Industries with the highest industry income were the other sports and physical recreation venues, grounds and facilities industry (total income of $3,563m), the sports and physical recreation clubs, teams and sports professionals industry ($1,382m), the sports and physical recreation administrative organisations industry ($1,147m), and the horse and dog racing industry ($1,136m) (table 21.41).
Major income items included income from television and broadcasting rights ($1,349m), income from admissions ($1,142m), membership fees ($647m), funding from government ($731m) and net TAB distributions ($555m).
Total expenses of these industries were $8,608m. Labour costs of $2,148m accounted for 25% of total expenses.
The operating profit before tax of $89m for the sports and physical recreation industries represented an operating profit margin of 2%. However, only 51% of organisations in these industries were 'for profit' organisations.
At the end of June 2001, total employment in the sport and physical recreation industries was 98,267 persons. Of these persons, 30,631 were employed as professional sportspersons, sports coaches, trainers or development officers. In addition, there were 178,837 volunteers working for organisations in these industries during June 2001.
The industry value added for the sports and physical recreation industries in 2000-01 was $1,942m.
