Skye · Suburb / Locality
Community Participation in Skye
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Very few residents in Skye volunteer compared to most other areas. While 13.3% of Victorians volunteer, only 9% of people here do, marking one of the lowest rates in the region. This lack of formal volunteering stands in contrast to a high number of people providing unpaid care for children.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 9% of people in Skye volunteer, which is much lower than most areas. This is well below the national figure of 14.1% and the Victorian rate of 13.3%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
A much higher proportion of people here provide unpaid childcare than in most areas, at 32.9%. This is well above the 26.3% seen across Australia, while 13.3% of residents provide some form of unpaid care, which is about the same as the state figure.
