Community Participation in Success
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a third of people in Success provide unpaid childcare, which is a much higher rate than most other areas. This community is heavily focused on family care, though other forms of community involvement are less common.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 12.9% of residents volunteer, which is well below the Western Australian figure of 15.9% and much lower than most similar areas.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 34.5% of people care for children unpaid—well above the national figure of 26.3%—other home duties are less frequent. Only 18.6% do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework and 9.4% provide unpaid care, both of which are much lower than in most areas.
