Community Participation in D'Aguilar
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than 32% of people in D'Aguilar provide unpaid childcare, a figure well above the national average. While family care is common here, other forms of community contribution have dipped over the last decade. This creates a distinct profile where home-based care is far more prevalent than formal volunteering.
