Community Participation in Marrangaroo
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much higher rates of volunteering and unpaid care than most similar areas define Marrangaroo. Nearly one in five people here volunteer, and there has been a significant rise in people providing unpaid support to others since 2011. This creates a community where residents are far more active in care and support roles than the national average.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering has jumped 11 points since 2011 to reach 19.4%. This is well above the New South Wales figure of 13.0% and the national figure of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is very common here, with 20.9% of people providing unpaid care and 32.4% caring for children. This is well above the national figures, and the number of people doing 15 or more hours of housework is far above the typical Australian rate.
