Community Participation in Oaks
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.

Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
One in four residents volunteers, a rate that is well above the Tasmanian figure and far above the rest of Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
