This publication presents data on sport and recreation occupations from the 1996 Census of Population and Housing, conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. In this publication occupations have been selected as sport and recreation on the basis they would be engaged principally in activities defined in the National Sport and Recreation Industry Statistical Framework. The tables in the publication show the number of Australian residents who were in Australia on census night (6 August 1996) and had their main job in a sport and recreation occupation.
