A high proportion of people in Maryvale provide unpaid care, with 26.3% of the community stepping up to help others. While this is far above the national figure, other forms of community contribution like volunteering are much less common here.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 7.9% of residents volunteer, which is among the lowest for similar areas and well below the 13.3% seen across Victoria.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
