Community Participation in Piturie
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Over a quarter of people in Piturie volunteer their time, a rate far above the national figure. This high level of community spirit is a standout feature of the area, where residents are much more likely to help out others than people in most other parts of the country.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 26.7% of residents volunteer, which is far above the 14.1% seen across both Queensland and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 36.7% of people provide unpaid childcare—far above the national figure of 26.3%—no one in the area provides other types of unpaid care. Around 20% do 15 or more hours of housework a week, which is about the same as the state and national figures.
