Community Participation in Hull Heads
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a third of people in Hull Heads spend 15 or more hours a week on unpaid housework, which is among the highest rates for similar areas. While these residents are very active in the home and with unpaid care, they are less likely to volunteer in the community than people in other parts of the country.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 13.1% of people here volunteer, a figure that is much lower than most areas and about the same as the Queensland and national figures.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is common, with 16.4% of residents providing such support, which is well above the national figure. However, this is contrasted by a much lower rate of people caring for children unpaid at 15.6%, far below the 26.3% seen across Australia.
