How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a third of people in Canoona provide unpaid childcare, making it a place with a very high rate of family care. While few residents serve in the military or volunteer, many others dedicate significant time to helping family members and managing the home.
