Community Participation in Kolora
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A strong spirit of volunteering defines Kolora, where over a quarter of the population gives their time to others. This is a striking contrast to the rest of the country, making the area stand out for its high level of community involvement.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 25.7% of people here volunteer, which is far above the Victorian figure of 13.3% and the national average of 14.1%. This level of participation is much higher than in most similar areas.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 15.1% of residents provide unpaid care—a figure well above the national average—far fewer people here care for children unpaid compared to other areas. Only 19.7% do so, which is well below the Australian figure of 26.3%.
