EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Preamble Participation rates for women engaging in sport and physical recreation are shown to be relatively similar to that of their male counterparts. Figures for 2013-14 reveal the Tasmanian rate of participation for females was 65.9 per cent (nationally 59.4 per cent) compared with 68.6 per cent (nationally 61.0 per cent) for males (ABS, 2014).
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation However, it is clear that the gender balance experienced in participation rates has not translated itself to the boardrooms of sporting organisations. According to the Centre for Sport and Social Impact at Latrobe University, women are far less likely than males to be found in the senior roles of sports governance (Sherry, 2014). A report published by the Commission on the Future of Women’s Sport, argues that sporting organisations could learn much from the corporate sector where companies with diverse board membership were more adept at decision making and governed with greater efficacy. Businesses where females held at least 30 per cent of senior management roles were more successful and better placed to deal with future challenges (CFWS, 2009). In a 2009 study by Sport and Recreation Tasmania (SRT), women were found to be under- represented on the boards of Tasmanian State Sporting Organisations (SSOs). A subsequent report in 2014 by Communities, Sport and Recreation (CSR) confirmed that this trend was continuing. Despite this, both of the reports confirmed that women were still more strongly represented in the boardrooms of SSOs than those of their national sporting organisation (NSO) counterparts. This 2015 report by CSR identifies a significant increase nationally in the number of females participating on NSO boards, with figures rising from 32.2 per cent to 36.53 per cent since the 2014 report. The number of women on Tasmanian SSO boards has risen from 36.5 per cent to 39.36 per cent since 2014 and remains above the national average. Background The Sport and Club Development (SCD) section of Communities, Sport and Recreation is committed to providing leadership to the Tasmanian sporting sector in the key area of governance. Through the provision of resources, SCD supports the sector to implement governance structures that promote diversity insenior roles of sports governance. SCD is committed to monitoring female representation on SSO boards as a baseline measure of diversity in the sector. In recognition of the link between sports governance and business capability, and the achievement of high performance success, the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is committed to working with stakeholders to adopt best practice governance principles across sport. The ASC released sports Governance Principles in 2002, the principles were updated in 2007 and again in 2012. In 2013, the Mandatory Sports Governance Principles (MSGP) were introduced for seven NSOs, the MSGP were updated in 2015 and now apply to 21 NSOs (see Appendix B). Principle 2.6 Gender balance on boards states that all NSOs to whom the mandatory principles apply must achieve a forty per cent representation of females on their boards (ASC, 2015). It is likely that the Mandatory Sports Governance Principles are the leading cause for the significant increase in females on NSO boards since the last report in 2014. In 2015, CSR developed the Governance Guidelines for SSOs to assist Tasmanian SSOs to develop quality governance policies and procedures. The guidelines are aligned with the ASC Sports Governance Principles and provide non-binding principles for all SSOs. Principle 2.8
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation There has also been a recent focus on achieving a greater female participation rate on all boards around Australia. At the national level, the Australian Institute of Company Directors has set a target for all ASX 200 companies to voluntarily meet a 30 per cent female representation on those company boards by 2018 (Australian Institute of Company Directors, 2015). At the state level the Tasmanian Government’s Women on Boards Strategy 2015-2020 seeks to increase female participation on Government boards to 50 per cent by July 2020 (DPAC, 2015).
Aims The 2015 study had four specific objectives: 1. To research female representation on boards of a number of Tasmanian SSOs 2. To capture the percentage of females who chair or are presidents of Tasmanian SSO boards. 3. To gather comparison data for NSOs to which the Tasmanian SSOs in this study are affiliated. 4. To compare board membership of Tasmanian SSOs with that of their affiliated NSO counterparts, and to contrast the 2015 results with those from the 2009 and 2014 reports.
Findings Snapshot The findings in this study have made extensive use of a data from CSR’s 2014 study and the original 2009 SRT study. This data has added richness to this study, providing a baseline for critical comparison.
SSO 2015 findings The average number of SSO board members has not changed significantly – slight increase from 8.13 members per board in 2014 to 8.18 in 2015.
Female SSO board representation increased slightly in 2015 - from 36.5 per cent in 2014 to 39.36 per cent in 2015.
Female chairpersons/presidents of SSOs increased significantly in 2015 - from 22.6 per cent in 2014 to 42.42 per cent in 2015 (compared to 20 per cent at the national level).
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation In 2015, Tier four SSOs (sports with between 501-1 250 registered members) had the highest percentage of female members on their boards at 42.55 per cent, rising from 36 per cent in 2014.
The number of SSOs with no female board members decreased in 2015 to 9.37 per cent from 12.9 per cent in 2014.
In 2015, 87.9 per cent of SSOs had 10 per cent or greater female representation. This is an upward trend on the 2014 figure of 87.1 per cent.
NSO 2015 findings Female NSO board representation increased in 2015 - from 30.3 per cent in 2014 to 36.61 per cent. In 2015, NSOs representing Tier three Tasmanian SSOs (sports with between 501-1 250 registered members) had the highest percentage of female members on their boards at 39.65 per cent (compared to 34.7 per cent for tier 3 NSOs in the 2014 report).
Female chairpersons/presidents of NSOs increased in 2015 - from 15.2 per cent in 2014 to 19.44 per cent in 2015.
Summary In summary Tasmanian SSOs have increased the female representation on their boards and have continued the trend of out-performing their NSO counterparts. Tasmanian SSOs have achieved this result without needing to implement mandatory female board member quotas. It is possible that if current growth continues at the same rate, the 40 per cent benchmark for female board representation used by the Australian Sporting Commission will be reached by most Tasmanian SSOs in 2016.
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation METHODOLOGY This study replicates the research undertaken by SRT in 2009 and CSR in 2014. The 2015 study investigated 33 SSOs who applied for funding during 2015, through the State Grants Program (SGP), or received similar CSR grant commitments. 36 NSOs were also profiled, most of whom the SSOs are affiliated with. Touch Football, Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) and Special Olympics have been studied at the NSO level only as they operate in a unitary structure.
The majority of this report’s data is based on the 2014-2015 period, SSO data was collected through annual and financial reports and through direct contact with SSO representatives. NSO data was gained almost exclusively through NSO websites.
LIMITATIONS In making comparisons regarding female board representation between 2014 and 2015 reports, careful consideration of the following points was required. the 2014 report reviewed 31 SSOs and the 2015 reports reviewed 33 SSOs; two SSOs that were in the 2015 study were not in the 2014 one, these being Riding for the Disabled and Table Tennis;
Skateboarding Australia was profiled in the 2014 report but not in the 2015 one; Confederation of Motor Sport Australia was profiled in this report but not in the 2014 one, and; there were 33 NSOs profiled in the 2014 report and 36 in the 2015 report. The original report conducted in 2009 provided SSO comparisons based on their categorisation (funding tier level) within SRT’s State Grants Program. The State Grants Program was reviewed in 2012 and an additional tiering level introduced. Consequently the 2009 study cannot provide comparison data for the tier four SSOs profiled in later reports.
Due to the large number of organisations involved in a study of this nature, and the frequency of movement on their volunteer boards, it is acknowledged the accuracy of the information is limited to the point in time it was collected. Annual reports for SSOs present a number of complications for reporting data; firstly, not all of them are based on financial years and some are based on sporting seasons; secondly, a number of SSOs did not possess an annual report that was less than two years old; and thirdly, a number of annual reports did not contain the current board composition making it impossible to use that document for the purposes of this report. In many instances SSO representatives were contacted directly to confirm the current Board composition.
Note there was a small rounding error rate of 0.40 per cent for the 2015 figures, actual results may be very slightly above or below the results shown in the Results and Discussion sections below.

Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation DISCUSSION
Average number of board members on SSO Boards Board membership numbers have increased slightly since 2009 and in 2015 the average number of board members for all SSO tiers is 8.18, with a range of 1.28 (ranging from 7.72 to 9 across the various tiers). This is inclusive of all board members. 2014 study: There was an average of 8.13 members per board across all SSOs with a range of 1.64 members across the four tiers (ranging from 7.36 to 9.0 members per board). 2009 study: There was an average of 8.14 members per board across all SSOs. A range of 1.2 members was evident between the three tiers (ranging from 7.7 to 8.9 members per board). See limitations for why the 2009 data does not have tier four data.
Figure 1: SSO Board Membership Composition – Comparison 2009, 2014 and 2015
The 2014 study found that SSO board size had a correlation to membership numbers; the larger the membership of an organisation, the smaller the board and vice versa. This trend continues in 2015 and this is perhaps reflective of the greater workload of smaller sports where board members bear more of the administrative burden.
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation Gender Composition on SSO Boards The following data has been captured to track the changes of female participation rates on SSO boards. The 2009, 2014 and 2015 figures have been compared and discussed extensively. Data from all three studies indicates an overall upward trend in female composition on SSO boards; the data also indicates reduced range in gender composition between the four SSO tiers.
2015 results: 2015 data indicates an upward trend in female board composition with 60.63 per cent males and 39.36 per cent females. Note there was a small rounding error rate of 0.40 per cent in all of the below tables for the 2015 figures, actual results may be very slightly above or below the results shown. The range between all four SSO tiers was quite small and was 5.02. Tier four SSOs had the highest female representation at 42.55 per cent and tier one SSOs had the lowest at 35.91 per cent.
2014 results 2014 data indicated that the gender composition of SSOs was sitting at 63.5 per cent male and 36.5 per cent female. The range between all four SSO tiers was quite variable with 22.7 per cent. Tier three SSOs had the highest female representation at 45.3 per cent and tier two SSOs had the lowest at 22.6 per cent. 2009 results Gender composition of SSO boards in 2009 was 65.4 per cent male and 34.6 per cent female. The range in gender composition between all three SSO tiers was very low at 2.3 per cent. Tier two SSOs had the highest female representation at 35.6 per cent and tier one SSOs the lowest at 33.3 per cent (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Board Composition of SSOs by Tier – 2009, 2014 and 2015.
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation Gender composition data by tier 2014 and 2015 The 2015 results indicate a significant increase in female representation in the tier one and tier two SSOs, a modest increase in the tier four SSOs, and a modest decrease in the tier three SSOs since the 2014 report. The findings suggest that females have greater representation in the smaller tier three and tier four sports than that of their tier one and tier two counterparts. The findings might provide support to an argument put forward by Sherry (2012) that female board members are less likely to be found in high profile or big budget sports.

Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation 2009 and 2015 gender composition data by tier The 2009 and the 2015 results demonstrate a clear reduction in the percentage of male board members and a corresponding increase in the number of female board members at the SSO level.

Figure 5 Per cent of male and female board members 2009, 2014 and 2015
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation Average number of male and female SSO board members To measure the longitudinal variation in CSR funded SSO board membership, the following data was graphed: the average overall number of board members; average male board members; and average female board members. The 2009, 2014 and 2015 figures have been compared (Figure 5.) The average size of SSO boards was 8.14 members in 2009, 8.13 in 2014 and is now 8.23 in 2015. Female board representation has increased from 2.82 board members in 2009 to 3.09 board members in 2015. Johanne Adriaanse (2014) argues that a critical mass of female board members is necessary to achieve changes within a sporting culture. In her study into Australian NSOs, Adriaanse found that the presence of a minimum of three women on a board was a primary condition to advance gender equal governance. It is promising therefore to note that most Tasmanian SSOs in 2015 have now achieved this.
Figure 6: SSO Board Member Composition 2009, 2014 and 2015 Comparison
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation Comparing SSOs and NSOs: Female Board Member Representation In order to measure female board representation at state and national level, SSOs boards were compared with their affiliated NSO counterparts for the same period. To view longitudinal trends the 2009 and 2014 data has been included to complement the 2015 data (Figure 5). There were three noteworthy observations: 1. Modest growth has occurred (4.76 per cent) in female representation on SSO boards since 2009
a. 34.6 per cent of board members were female in 2009. b. 36.5 per cent of board members were female in 2014. c. 39.36 per cent of board members were female in 2015 2. There has been a significant increase (14.81 per cent) in female representation on NSO boards since 2009
a. 21.8 per cent of board members were female in 2009. b. 30.3 per cent of board members were female in 2014. c. 36.61 per cent of board members were female in 2015 The upward trend in NSO figures is perhaps indicative of the success of the mandatory governance principles that require some NSOs to have a 40 per cent female representation on boards by 2015. The significant female representation increase between 2014 and 2015 periods is likely due to the increasing number of NSOs required to adhere to those principles, which has tripled from 7 NSOs in 2014 to 21 in 2015 (seeappendix B). The recent focus on achieving a greater percentage of female participation on boards more generally around Australia is likely to have also contributed to this increase, see Background for more information on this.
3. Although the gap has narrowed significantly, Tasmanian SSOs still lead their NSO counterparts by approximately 2.75 percentage points with regards to female representation at board level:
4. Figure 7: Percentage of Female Members on SSO/NSO boards 2009, 2014 and 2015. Date Female SSO board Female NSO board members (per cent) members (per cent) 2009 34.6 21.8 2014 36.5 32.2 2015 39.36 36.61
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation Female Presidents/Chairpersons at SSO/NSO Board Level Data was captured to determine the percentage of SSO female presidents/chairpersons. Similar data was captured from NSOs to which these SSOs are affiliated in order to provide a comparison between state and national level (Figure 6). There were two noteworthy observations: 1. There has been significant growth at SSO level in the number of female presidents. With 14 female presidents from a total of 33 sporting organisations (42.42 per cent) this result is up from 5 female presidents from a total of 28 sporting organisations (17.9 per cent) in 2009. It is unclear why this increase has occurred over a relatively short period of time.
2. The NSO level of female presidents has stabilised at 7 presidents from 36 NSOs (19.44 per cent). In 2009 there were 7 female presidents from a total of 28 sporting organisations (25 per cent). Although the percentage rate has dropped since 2009, the actual number of female presidents has remained steady at the NSO level.
Figure 8: Percentage of Female Presidents/Chairpersons on SSO and NSO boards 2009, 2014 and 2015
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation Distribution of Female Board Members in SSOs Henny Oldenhove (2004) makes claims similar toAdriaanse (2014) that a critical mass is required to have a cultural influence on a board. Oldenhove provides the following argument in regards to female board representation: 10 per cent of total representation is tokenism. 20 per cent means a voice is present. 30 per cent means a voice or position will be heard. 40 per cent brings about real influence and involvement.
In 2015, 39.39 per cent of Tasmanian SSOs included in this study had 40 per cent or greater female representation on their boards (Figure 9). This is a 7.13 per cent increase on the 2014 figure, and a 0.10 per cent increase on the 2009 figure.
Figure 9: Frequency distribution of female board members in SSOs – 2009/2014
If we adopt Oldenhove’s 20 per cent figure as a minimum benchmark for a female voice to be present in SSO boardrooms, then a different trend emerges. In 2015, 75.75 per cent of Tasmanian SSOs had 20 per cent or greater female representation on their boards. This is a 4 per cent increase on the 2014 figure, and a 10.7 per cent increase on the 2009 figure. This clearly demonstrates that Tasmanian SSO boards are being impacted by female representation and that their voice and influence is steadily growing over time.
In 2015, 9.37 per cent of SSOs had no female members on their board. This is a slight decrease on the 2014 figure of 12.9 per cent and the 2009 figure of 10.7 per cent. As a contrast, in 2015 roughly 3.12 per cent of SSOs had no male members on their board.
Department of Premier and Cabinet Communities, Sport and Recreation CONCLUSION Tasmanian SSOs have continued to outperform their national counterparts in having a higher percentage of female members on their boards. Female participation on SSO boards has risen by 2.86 per cent since the 2014 report and currently sits at 39.36 per cent. Importantly, the percentage of SSO female board members who are a president or chair currently sits at 42.42 per cent; this is a rise of19.82 per cent since the 2014 report and the result remains significantly above the NSO figure.
It should be noted that the NSO statistics have significantly improved for women since the original report by SRT in 2009. This is most likely a direct result of the Australian Sports Commission’s governance principles for NSOs and the increase to 21 of the number of NSOs mandated to comply. The principles require NSOs to have a minimum of forty per cent female representation on boards.
It is promising to note that if current growth rates continue, it is possible most Tasmanian SSOs will reach the forty per cent representation benchmark in 2016. It is pleasing to note that on average Tasmanian SSOs have 3.09 female members per board, noting Adriaanse’s (2014) claim that a minimum of three females is needed to be present on a board for the advancement of gender equal governance.
Sport and Club Development will continue to monitor the levels of female representation on SSO boards to ensure that the trend of gender equality continues to rise for Tasmanian sporting organisation boards.
