Community Participation in Dunolly
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Community engagement is higher than most similar areas in Dunolly, where nearly one in five people volunteer. This spirit of participation is reflected in a strong rate of unpaid care and a higher-than-average number of former defence force members.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 18.3% of people in Dunolly volunteer, which is well above the figures for both Victoria and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While the rate of people caring for children is far below the national figure at 16.0%, providing other unpaid care is much more common here. This is consistent with more residents spending 15 or more hours on unpaid housework than in most other areas.
