Community Participation in Sherwood
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Far fewer people in Sherwood provide unpaid childcare compared to the rest of the state. While 11.1% of residents look after children without pay, this is far below the New South Wales figure of 25.3%. This creates a distinct community profile where home-based care for children is much less common than in other areas.
