CASRO Research
The CASRO Research Group (CRG) is a sub-committee of the Committee of Australian Sport and Recreation Officials (CASRO), consisting of representatives from each of the following:
- Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport
- Australian Sports Commission
- State and Territory Departments of Sport and Recreation
The CRG's role is to improve the range and quality of information about sport and recreation including data and research on physical activity trends, sport and recreation participation, economic impacts and social benefits.
The Exercise, Recreation and Sport Survey (ERASS) was a joint initiative of the Australian Sports Commission and State and Territory Departments of Sport and Recreation, conducted on an annual basis between 2001 and 2010.
The ERASS collected information on the frequency, nature and type of activities participated in by persons aged 15 years and over for exercise, recreation or sport during the 12 months prior to interview. The ERASS ceased operation following the release of its 2010 Annual Report.
