Community Participation in Jeparit
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly a quarter of people in Jeparit volunteer, making it a place where community spirit is far more common than in the rest of the state. This high level of local involvement is seen alongside a strong tendency for residents to take on unpaid care and housework.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 23.9% of residents volunteer, a figure that is far above the Victorian rate of 13.3% and well above the national average.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While only 16.9% of people care for children unpaid—well below the national figure—many others step up in different ways. This is seen in the 31.6% who do 15 or more hours of housework weekly and the 16.6% who provide other unpaid care, both of which are much higher than most areas.
