Community Participation in 2032, NSW
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Fewer people engage in unpaid care and volunteering in postcode 2032 compared to most other areas. Only 12.9% of residents volunteer their time, and those providing unpaid care for children or the home are well below the national figures. This suggests a community where residents spend much less of their spare time on these specific types of unpaid work.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering has dropped by 1.7 percentage points since 2011 to reach 12.9%. This is much lower than most areas, though it is about the same as the New South Wales figure.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is much less common here than in most areas, with only 20% of people caring for children and 15.9% doing significant housework. Both figures are well below the national average, while the 9.8% of people providing general unpaid care is a little below the typical Australian rate.
