Community Participation in 2665, NSW
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than one in three people volunteer in postcode 2665, making it one of the most active areas for community work in the region. While volunteering has dipped since 2011, local residents still give their time far more often than people across the state. This strong spirit of helping others extends to unpaid care and household work at home.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is very common here, with 34.1% of people helping out, which is far above the New South Wales figure of 13.0%. This is among the highest rates for areas of this type, although it has fallen 5.4 percentage points since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid work is a big part of life, as 15.6% of people provide unpaid care, a figure well above the national average. This is consistent with a high number of people doing 15 or more hours of housework weekly, though the proportion of those caring for children unpaid has fallen slightly since 2011.
