# Community Participation — Injinoo

How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.

Area: Injinoo (Suburb / Locality)

Almost 44% of people in Injinoo provide unpaid childcare, a figure far above the national average. While childcare duties are very common, other forms of community involvement like volunteering are much lower than in most areas. This highlights a strong focus on family care within the local community.

Only 5.3% of residents volunteer, which is among the lowest for similar areas and well below the Queensland figure of 14.1%.

People caring for children unpaid make up 43.5% of the area, far above the Australian average of 26.3%. In contrast, the 8.5% who provide other unpaid care is well below the national figure, and those doing 15 or more hours of housework are far below the state average.

A little more than 3.9% of the population have served in the Defence Force, which is higher than most areas and slightly above the national figure of 2.8%.
