Community Participation in Tomboye
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Over half of the people in Tomboye do at least 15 hours of unpaid housework a week, a figure far above the national average. This reflects a community where domestic work is common, though very few residents provide unpaid care for others.
Participation

About 14.3% of residents volunteer, which is about the same as the Australian figure of 14.1%. This is slightly higher than the New South Wales rate of 13.0%, though it remains lower than most similar areas.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 51.4% of people do significant unpaid housework, only 8.6% care for children unpaid—both figures are far below the New South Wales and Australian averages. No one in the area reports providing other types of unpaid care.
