Community Participation in Wongawilli
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A huge gap exists between Wongawilli and the rest of the country when it comes to unpaid childcare. Nearly half of the population provides unpaid care for children, a figure far above both the state and national averages. This high level of family care stands in contrast to very low rates of community volunteering.
