Community Participation in Kooroongarra
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A third of people in Kooroongarra do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework each week, which is far above the national figure. This high level of home work contrasts with other forms of community and family support, as the area has very low rates of volunteering and unpaid care.
Participation

Only 8.9% of residents volunteer, a figure that is well below both the Queensland and Australian averages of 14.1%. This is much lower than most similar areas.
