Community Participation in Torryburn
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A huge gap exists between Torryburn and the rest of the state when it comes to community involvement. While residents are far more likely to volunteer than people across Australia, there is almost no unpaid care for children or others happening here. This creates a distinct profile of community service focused on volunteering rather than domestic care.
