Community Participation in Kimberley
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Almost no one in Kimberley (Qld) reports volunteering their time to others. This lack of formal community involvement is mirrored by very low rates of unpaid childcare and housework compared to the rest of the state.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
No one in the area reports volunteering, a figure that is far below the 14.1% seen across both Queensland and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While people providing unpaid care are a little more common here than in most areas (14.3%), almost no one provides unpaid childcare and only 10.7% do 15 or more hours of housework, which is well below the national figure.
