Community Participation in McMillans
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much higher rates of unpaid home and childcare set McMillans apart from most similar areas. While about 35.5% of people care for children unpaid, very few residents have served in the Defence Force.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is less common here than in most areas, with 12.9% of people helping out. This is about the same as the Victorian figure of 13.3%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Home duties are a major part of life for many, as 38.7% do at least 15 hours of unpaid housework weekly, far above the 20.1% seen in Victoria. This is consistent with the 35.5% who provide unpaid childcare, which is well above the national figure. However, only 8.1% provide other forms of unpaid care, which is much lower than most areas.
