Community Participation in Rainbow Beach
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A surprisingly low number of parents and carers define the community spirit in Rainbow Beach. While 15.6% of people volunteer, the area sees far fewer people providing unpaid care than the national average.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 15.6% of people in Rainbow Beach volunteer, which is a little above the 14.1% figure for both Queensland and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Only 17.3% of residents provide unpaid childcare, which is well below the national figure of 26.3%. This low level of childcare is consistent with the fact that unpaid care in general is much lower than in most areas.
