Community Participation in Gidginbung
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A quarter of people in Gidginbung volunteer, making it a community with far more volunteers than the national figure. This strong local engagement stands out against other measures of participation, such as a very low number of people who have served in the Defence Force.
