Community Participation in Burramboot
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A massive gap exists between Burramboot and the rest of the country when it comes to helping others. Residents here are far more likely to volunteer and provide unpaid care than those in other Victorian or Australian towns. This creates a community where local support and unpaid work are very common.

Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
