Community Participation in 2168, NSW
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Only 5.3% of people volunteer in postcode 2168, which is one of the lowest rates for this level. This reflects a broader trend of lower community engagement, with fewer residents providing unpaid care or housework compared to state and national figures. Most people here are less likely to participate in these unpaid social roles than those in other parts of Australia.

Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care for children is much lower than most areas at 21.1%, and those doing 15 or more hours of housework are also well below the national figure. While these figures have fallen since 2011, the share of people providing other unpaid care has barely changed, sitting at 11.5%.
