How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A much higher share of people provide unpaid care in Bald Hills than in other parts of Victoria. While the community is very active in the home, it has a notably low rate of formal volunteering. This suggests a local focus on family and household responsibilities over external community groups.
