Community Participation in Maryknoll
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much higher rates of community involvement than most similar areas define Maryknoll. While volunteering has dropped over the last decade, a striking 22.5% of residents still give their time to others, which is well above the national figure of 14.1%. This spirit of contribution is matched by high levels of unpaid family support.
Participation

Volunteering is very common here, with 22.5% of people helping out—well above the 13.3% seen across Victoria. However, this has fallen significantly since 2011, when 40.8% of the community volunteered.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Childcare is a major focus, as 31.7% of people provide unpaid care for children, which is well above the national figure of 26.3%.
