Community Participation in West Ballidu
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in five people in West Ballidu spend their spare time volunteering, making it a place where community involvement is far more common than across Australia. This spirit of helping out is seen in both formal volunteering and the high rates of unpaid care and housework within the home.

About 19.4% of residents volunteer, which is well above the national figure of 14.1% and the state rate of 15.9%.
