Community Participation in Elliott
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly half of the people in Elliott provide unpaid childcare, a figure far above the national average. While family care is very common here, other forms of community involvement like volunteering are much less frequent than in other parts of Australia.

Only 4.4% of people volunteer, which is well below the 14.1% figure seen across both the Northern Territory and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
