Community Participation in Kings Park
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A far higher share of people provide unpaid care in Kings Park compared to the rest of the state. While 25% of residents are unpaid carers, this stands in stark contrast to the very low rates of childcare and volunteering found here.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering has dropped sharply since 2011, with only 12.5% of people now volunteering. This is well below the Western Australian figure of 15.9%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
A quarter of residents provide unpaid care, which is far above the national figure of 11.9%. However, this is not for children; only 8.3% of people care for children unpaid, a rate far below the 28.5% seen across Western Australia.
