Community Participation in Tucabia
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly one in five people in Tucabia provide unpaid care, a rate among the highest for similar areas. While the community has a strong record of helping others at home, formal volunteering has dropped sharply over the last decade.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 13.6% of residents volunteer, which is lower than most areas and roughly the same as the New South Wales and national figures. This represents a significant drop from 2011, when 25.9% of the community volunteered.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
