Community Participation in Vaucluse
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly 18% of people in Vaucluse volunteer, a rate well above the national figure. This high level of community involvement stands out in a place where residents are far less likely to provide unpaid care at home than people in most other areas.

Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 17.7% of residents volunteer, which is much higher than most areas and well above the 14.1% national average. This is a slight drop from 2011, when 19.7% of the community volunteered.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is much less common here than in most areas. Only 16.6% of people do 15 or more hours of housework weekly, and those caring for children unpaid are a little below the New South Wales and national figures.
