Community Participation in Morawa
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 30% of people in Morawa volunteer, a figure far above the national average. This strong spirit of community contribution stands out even as other forms of unpaid work in the town have declined over the last decade.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Almost 30% of residents volunteer here, which is much higher than most areas and 16 points above the Australian figure. However, this rate has fallen by 3.2 points since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is less common here than in most places. The number of people caring for children unpaid is well below the state and national figures, and the share of people doing 15 or more hours of housework has also fallen since 2011.
