Community Participation in Moonee Beach
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much higher rates of unpaid home and childcare set Moonee Beach apart from most similar areas. While a third of residents provide unpaid child care, the proportion of people volunteering for community groups has fallen sharply over the last decade.
