Community Participation in 2175, NSW
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A wide gap exists between postcode 2175 and the rest of Australia in how people spend their spare time. While volunteering and childcare rates are well below national figures, a much higher proportion of residents spend significant time on unpaid housework. These patterns show a community where domestic duties are more common than formal community service.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 10.1% of people here volunteer, which is much lower than most areas. This figure is well below the Australian average of 14.1% and has barely changed since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Housework is a major commitment here, with 27.6% of people doing 15 or more hours a week, a figure well above the national 20.7%. In contrast, those caring for children unpaid have fallen to 20.7%, which is well below the New South Wales figure of 25.3%.
