Community Participation in Ravenswood
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than 3% of the Ravenswood population have served in the Defence Force, which is a higher share than in most similar areas. While military service is more common here, other forms of community and home-based support are generally lower than state and national figures.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 12.1% of people volunteer, which is much lower than most areas and a little below the Queensland and Australian figures of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is far less common here than elsewhere, with only 10.7% of people caring for children unpaid compared to the national figure of 26.3%. This is consistent with fewer people doing 15 or more hours of unpaid housework (16.2%) and a lower rate of general unpaid care (10.3%).
