Clifden · Suburb / Locality
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A stark gap exists between Clifden and the rest of the country in community involvement, with no residents recording any volunteer work. This lack of formal volunteering is mirrored by very low rates of unpaid care and housework compared to state and national figures.
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
No one in Clifden volunteers, a figure that is far below the New South Wales rate of 13% and the Australian average of 14.1%.
