Community Participation in 2102, NSW
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A striking 33.0% of people in postcode 2102 provide unpaid child care, a figure well above the national average. While many residents support families, other forms of community involvement and service are less common here. This creates a local profile where domestic care is a primary way people contribute to their community.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 14.4% of residents volunteer, which is lower than most similar areas. This is about the same as the Australian figure, though it has fallen 3.7 percentage points since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
The proportion of people caring for children unpaid is among the highest at this level and well above the New South Wales figure. In contrast, those providing general unpaid care or doing 15 or more hours of housework are less common than in most areas.
