## Resource

New research reveals the shocking true cost of community sport for Aussie families—over $4,500 a year, including hidden expenses like parent-driven travel, lost wages, and tournament stays.

Experts and organizations are pushing back with solutions like shared gear and government vouchers to keep sport accessible—and families are finding creative ways to stay involved, knowing the long-term benefits far outweigh the price tag.
