Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 13.3% of people volunteer here, which is much lower than most other areas, though it is about the same as the Queensland and national figures.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is uncommon here, with 9.6% of people providing it, which is a little below the national figure. This is consistent with the very low rate of people caring for children unpaid, which is far below the national average.
