Community Participation in Adaminaby
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A striking gap exists between Adaminaby (L) and the rest of the country, particularly in how few people provide unpaid care. While 16.1% of residents volunteer, far fewer are tasked with looking after children or doing heavy housework compared to the state and national figures.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is a steady part of life here, with 16.1% of people pitching in. This is well above the New South Wales figure of 13.0% and has barely changed since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care has dropped sharply since 2011, with only 12.9% of people now caring for children unpaid, which is far below the national figure of 26.3%. This trend is mirrored in housework and general care, both of which are much lower than in most other areas.
