Community Participation in Stony Chute
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Stony Chute shows a varied pattern of community involvement, with some habits falling far outside the norm for similar areas. While volunteering is common, there is a striking gap in how people handle unpaid work and childcare compared to the rest of the country.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 16.2% of people here volunteer, which is a little above the national figure of 14.1% and well above New South Wales at 13.0%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
A much higher share of residents do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework (30.3%) than most areas, though those caring for children unpaid (17.6%) are well below the national figure of 26.3%. General unpaid care sits at 12.0%, which is about the same as the state and national levels.
