Community Participation in Bondi Beach
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Community involvement in Bondi Beach has shifted over the last decade, though the area now sees far fewer people performing unpaid care roles than the national average. While nearly 15% of residents volunteer, the most striking feature is how few people here spend their time on housework and childcare compared to other parts of Australia.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 14.6% of people in Bondi Beach volunteer, which is a little above the New South Wales figure of 13.0% and about the same as the national rate.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is much lower here than in most areas, with only 6.5% providing care and 11.8% doing 15 or more hours of housework weekly. This is well below the national figures for housework (20.7%) and childcare (26.3%).
