Community Participation in Iron Pot Creek
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A much higher rate of unpaid home and child care defines Iron Pot Creek compared to the rest of the state. While 33.3% of people here look after children without pay, far fewer residents provide other types of unpaid care. This creates a distinct profile of community contribution centered mainly on the family home.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Around 14.3% of people volunteer their time, 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 work is very common here, with 33.3% of people doing 15 or more hours of housework and 33.3% caring for children, both of which are far above the national figures. In contrast, no one in the area provides other types of unpaid care, a figure far below the 11.9% national average.
