Community Participation in Kulin
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than one in three people in Kulin volunteer, a rate far above the national figure. This high level of community effort defines daily life here, even though the number of volunteers has dipped since 2011. It is a place where people contribute significantly more of their own time to local activities than people in most other parts of the country.
