Community Participation in Yabberup
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Yabberup shows a mix of low community volunteering but a very strong history of military service. While few people here volunteer compared to other areas, a strikingly high number of residents have served in the Defence Force.
Participation

Volunteering is much lower here than in most similar areas, with only 13% of people pitching in, which is a little below the figures for both Western Australia and the nation.
