Community Participation in 6484, WA
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A huge increase in volunteerism marks the recent shift in postcode 6484, where the number of people giving their time has more than doubled since 2011.

Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 21.4% of people here volunteer, a figure that is well above both the state and national averages. This is a significant climb from 2011, when only 9.8% of the community volunteered.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
