Community Participation in Paraburdoo
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in five people in Paraburdoo volunteer their time, which is well above the national figure. This high level of community involvement stands out against a lower tendency for residents to provide unpaid care for others.
