Community Participation in Woodbury
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a third of people in Woodbury volunteer, making it a place where community contribution is a huge part of daily life. This spirit of helping out is seen in the very high rates of unpaid care, though few residents spend large amounts of time on housework.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is incredibly common here, with 34.8% of people giving their time. This is far above the Tasmanian figure of 18.0% and the national rate of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Providing unpaid care is common, with 17.4% of people helping out, which is well above the national figure. This is driven by a very high proportion of people caring for children (43.5%), though only 13.0% do more than 15 hours of housework weekly, which is well below most other areas.
