How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than five times the national rate of Defence Force veterans live in Punchbowl, which stands out as a key feature of the local community. While other forms of volunteering and unpaid work in the area generally mirror state and national levels, this high level of military service is a striking local characteristic.
