Community Participation in 2800, NSW
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 30% of people in postcode 2800 provide unpaid childcare, which is well above the national figure. While family care is common, other forms of community contribution are less frequent. This reflects a place where home-based care is a primary focus for many residents.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering rates have fallen since 2011 and now sit at 15.8%. This is lower than in most similar areas, though it remains a little above the figures for New South Wales and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Childcare is a major priority here, with 29.9% of people caring for children unpaid, which is much higher than most areas. In contrast, the 11.9% who provide other types of unpaid care and the 21.3% doing heavy housework are both lower than most areas.
