Community Participation in Tea Tree
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A strong spirit of giving has grown in Tea Tree, where community involvement is now higher than it was in 2011. This is most evident in the high number of people who volunteer their time and those who provide unpaid care for children.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 20.1% of people in Tea Tree volunteer, which is well above the national figure of 14.1% and higher than most other areas.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Much higher than most areas, 31.1% of residents provide unpaid care for children, well above the national figure. Others are more typically involved, with unpaid care and housework levels sitting around the state and national averages.
