Community Participation in Rural View
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much more than a third of people in Rural View provide unpaid childcare, making it one of the highest areas for this kind of work. While family care is common, other forms of community contribution and service are less frequent here than in other parts of the country.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 11.4% of residents volunteer, which is much lower than most similar areas and a little below the national figure of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Care for children is very common here, with 36.6% of people doing this work unpaid—far above the Queensland figure of 26.5%. In contrast, providing general unpaid care (9.5%) and doing 15 or more hours of housework (18.7%) are both much lower than in most areas.
