Community Participation in Table Cape
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a third of people in Table Cape volunteer, a figure far above the national average. This high level of community spirit defines the area, though residents are far less likely to provide unpaid care for others compared to most of the country.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is very common here, with 34.2% of people helping out. This is far above the 14.1% seen across Australia and much higher than most similar areas.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 30.3% of people do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework—well above the national figure—few others provide unpaid care. Only 21.1% care for children, and 0% of residents provide other unpaid care, which is far below Tasmania and Australia.
