Community Participation in Tara
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A striking 76.3% of people in Tara provide unpaid childcare, one of the highest rates for this level. While family care is common, other forms of community involvement are low, with very few residents volunteering or having served in the military.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 10.5% of people here volunteer, which is well below the Northern Territory and national figure of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid work is very common, with 44.7% of residents doing 15 or more hours of housework weekly, far above the national figure of 20.7%. This aligns with the very high rate of people caring for children unpaid. Meanwhile, those providing other types of unpaid care sit at 10.5%, which is a little above the territory average.
