NOTES


ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

This publication presents summary data on sport and physical recreation volunteers from the 2010 General Social Survey (GSS). The detailed results cover information about the characteristics of people volunteering for sport and recreation organisations, other organisations and non-volunteers. People volunteering for sport and physical recreation organisations have been split into two categories which includes volunteering for sport and physical recreation organisations only, and sport and physical recreation together with other organisation(s).

The publication provides detailed analysis of the characteristics of volunteers in sport and physical recreation as well as two spreadsheets - the first presenting data for Australia, and the second presenting data for each of the states and territories.

Data on all volunteers from the 2010 GSS was published in Voluntary Work, Australia, 2010 (cat. no. 4441.0).
