Community Participation in Anindilyakwa
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Far more people provide unpaid care in Anindilyakwa than in most similar areas, though formal volunteering is very low. Nearly half of the population cares for children without pay, which is a striking contrast to the national figure. This highlights a community where home-based support is the primary form of contribution.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 7.2% of residents volunteer, which is among the lowest rates for similar areas. This figure is well below the Northern Territory and national figures of 14.1%, and it has fallen by 6.4 percentage points since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is very common here, with 47.4% of people caring for children, a figure far above the 26.3% national average. This is consistent with higher rates of other home duties, as 25% do 15 or more hours of housework weekly and 14.5% provide other unpaid care.
