Community Participation in Moonbi
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Over 32% of people in Moonbi provide unpaid childcare, which is well above the national figure. This high level of family care defines the community's social contribution, even as other forms of volunteering and housework have declined.
