Community Participation in Windermere
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a quarter of people in Windermere volunteer, which is far above the national figure. This high level of community involvement is a standout feature for the area. While many residents contribute their time to others, patterns of unpaid care at home vary widely.
Participation

Volunteering is very common here, with 26.8% of people helping out. This is much higher than most similar areas and well above the Tasmanian rate of 18.0%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Many residents spend significant time on home tasks, as 36.2% do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework weekly, a figure far above the national average. However, those caring for children unpaid are much lower than most areas at 18.3%. About 12.5% provide other unpaid care, which is roughly the same as the state and national figures.
