The Outdoor Census is a vital initiative to gather real-time, evidence-based data from across the outdoor sector. It plays a crucial role in capturing the needs, challenges, and opportunities faced by outdoor providers, educators, guides, and businesses operating across NSW and the ACT. The Census helps build a picture of the current state of the industry—something that has long been missing from national datasets.

For Outdoors NSW & ACT, the Census is more than just a survey—it’s a key tool in delivering on our mission to support, connect, and grow the outdoor industry. This data strengthens the sector’s voice when advocating for policy change, funding, and strategic support. The insights from the Outdoor Census also ensure we’re representing our members with clarity, credibility, and impact.
