SERVICE INDUSTRIES SURVEY 2000-01

The 2000-01 Service Industries Survey used the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industry Classification (ANZSIC) to classify industry and determine the scope of the survey. However, the survey forms included questions which would enable data to be output according to ACLC Industry Classification definitions. For most of the industries included in table 10.1, the data presented covers the full range of their in-scope activities. The exceptions are Other sports and physical recreation venues, grounds and facilities (ACLC Class 322); and Sports and physical recreation support services (ACLC Class 334). Class 322 omits recreational parks, while Class 334 omits services such as horse breeding, sports veterinary services, horse transport, boat ramp operation and marina operation. The services omitted were outside the scope of the ANZSIC classes included in the survey. ACLC Class 333 Outdoor recreation guiding operations fell entirely outside the scope of the survey and hence has no data available.

Because of the large and temporary impact of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, data relating to the activities of the respective organising committees have been excluded from the general tables. Instead this data is summarised in a separate dedicated table (table 10.4).

At the end of June 2001, Sports and physical recreation clubs, teams and sports professionals (ACLC Class 332) was the industry which had the greatest number of organisations (1,937). It also had the most employment (23,312 persons) and the highest level of income ($1,381.8m). However, it was one of two sports industries which recorded an operating loss/deficit for 2000-01, the other being Other sports and physical recreation venues, grounds and facilities.

The industry with the largest operating profit/surplus was Sports and physical recreation administrative organisations (ACLC Class 331) with $45.7m, even though all 755 organisations were not for profit. The next highest profit/surplus levels were recorded by Horse and dog racing (ACLC Class 311) with $30.6m, and Sports and physical recreation support services with $28.0m, the latter deriving its profit from a total income of only $215.2m.

The number of males employed exceeded the number of females for all industries except Health and fitness centres and gymnasia (ACLC Class 321), and Sports and physical recreation support services. Health and fitness centres and gymnasia had the highest level of female employment, both in absolute terms (8,062) and as a percentage of persons employed (64.2%).
