Community Participation in Talbingo
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A quarter of the people in Talbingo volunteer their time, making it a place where community contribution is much more common than in most other areas. This spirit of helping out is a standout feature of the local area, with volunteering rates far above both the state and national figures.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 25% of residents volunteer, a figure that is far above the 13% seen in New South Wales and the 14.1% across Australia. This level of community involvement has barely changed since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care for children is very rare here, with only 12% of people doing so, which is far below the national figure of 26.3%. However, 26.1% of residents spend 15 or more hours a week on unpaid housework, a rate well above the New South Wales figure of 21.2%.
