Community Participation in Osborne Park
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Very few people in Osborne Park engage in unpaid community or home work compared to similar areas. Just 11.2% of residents volunteer, and the rates of unpaid care and housework are among the lowest in the region. This creates a profile of a community that is much less involved in these activities than the typical Australian suburb.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is much lower than in most areas, with only 11.2% of people taking part. This is well below the Western Australian figure of 15.9% and a little below the national rate of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is uncommon here; only 7.9% of people provide this support, which is well below the Australian figure. This is consistent with other low rates, such as the 18.8% who provide unpaid childcare and the 12.3% who do 15 or more hours of housework per week.
