Community Participation in Black Hill
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 20% of people provide unpaid care in Black Hill, which is much higher than most similar areas. This level of unpaid support is a defining feature of the local community, with many residents balancing family duties and home responsibilities.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 14% of residents volunteer, a figure that is lower than most areas but stays roughly the same as the national average.
Unpaid care & work

Unpaid work is very common here, with 30.9% of people doing 15 or more hours of housework weekly, far above the national figure of 20.7%. This high level of home work is consistent with the 30% who care for children unpaid, which is well above the New South Wales average.
