Community Participation in Ryan
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
About 26.5% of people in Ryan provide unpaid childcare, which is about the same as the Queensland and national figures. While child care is common, other forms of community activity are less frequent in this small area. This is most evident in the low number of local volunteers.

Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
