Current vehicles used to collect and monitor particpation rates in organised sport for children and adults are the Participation in Exercise Recreation and Sport Survey (ERASS) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). ERASS is an annual collection reporting on participation of persons 15 years and over funded by the Australian Sports Commission and the state and territory departments of sport and recreation through the Standing Committee on Recreation and Sport and the ABS data (adults participation is reported in the Cat.No. 6285.0 "Involvement in Organised Sport and Physical Activity" and the children's participation is reported in the Cat.No. 4901.0 "Children's Participation in Cultural and Leisure Activities").
