Community Participation in Redgate
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in four people in Redgate volunteer, making it a community where helping out is far more common than in most other areas. This high level of local involvement stands in contrast to the low number of residents who have served in the military.
Participation

About 24.6% of residents volunteer, which is far above the Queensland and Australian figures of 14.1%. This is much higher than in most similar areas.
