Community Participation in Timor
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Well over 20% of people in Timor volunteer, which is a much higher rate than across Victoria or Australia. This high level of community spirit is seen alongside a strong tendency to provide unpaid care for others. It is a place where local contribution is far more common than in the typical Australian town.
