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

Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 15.6% of people here volunteer, which is a little above both the Queensland and Australian figures of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is very uncommon here, with no one providing unpaid care and far fewer people looking after children (20%) compared to the national figure of 26.3%. This is consistent with a much lower rate of people doing 15 or more hours of housework per week.
