Community Participation in Moora
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly a quarter of people in Moora volunteer, a rate far above the national figure. This high level of community involvement stands out, even though the proportion of volunteers has dropped since 2011. It is a place where people contribute more of their time to others than in most other areas.
Participation

About 24.6% of residents volunteer, which is much higher than most areas and well above the Western Australian average of 15.9%. However, this figure has fallen by 7.9 percentage points since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is less common here than in most areas, with only 23.1% of people caring for children unpaid. This is well below the national figure of 26.3%, and those doing 15 or more hours of housework have also decreased since 2011.
