Community Participation in Seisia
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Community involvement in Seisia has remained a strong feature of local life since 2011. Nearly one in five people volunteer here, which is well above the national figure. This spirit of contribution is seen in both community work and a high rate of past military service.

About 19.5% of residents volunteer, a figure that is well above both the Queensland and Australian averages of 14.1%.
