Community Participation in Namatjira
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Only 12.3% of people in Namatjira volunteer their time, which is a notable drop from 17.3% in 2011. This trend makes the area less active in volunteering than most other parts of the country. While few people provide unpaid care, many residents still balance home life with child rearing.

Volunteering has fallen 5.0 percentage points since 2011 to 12.3%. This is a little below the national figure of 14.1% and lower than most other similar areas.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
About 27.3% of people provide unpaid childcare, which is around the middle for its level and similar to the Australian average. However, those doing 15 or more hours of housework have fallen to 12.8%, a figure well below the national rate.
