Community Participation in Clifton
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than one in five people in Clifton volunteer their time, creating a community where local contribution is much higher than the national figure. This spirit of helping out is a standout feature for the area, though very few residents have served in the Defence Force.

About 20.6% of residents are volunteers, which is well above the New South Wales rate of 13.0% and the Australian figure of 14.1%.
