Community Participation in Rollingstone
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in five people in Rollingstone volunteer their time, making it a community with a much higher rate of volunteering than the Queensland and national figures. This spirit of contribution is matched by a strong military connection, where the number of former and current Defence Force members is among the highest for similar areas.
