Community Participation in Rosewood
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Fewer people in Rosewood are volunteering or doing housework than they were in 2011. While 7.6% of the population have served in the Defence Force, volunteering has fallen since the last census. This highlights a shifting way the community contributes its time to others.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering has dropped by 3.4 points since 2011. Only 12.3% of people now volunteer, which is much lower than most similar areas and a little below the national figure of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
About 13.0% of people provide unpaid care, a little above the national figure. While 26.2% of people care for children unpaid, those spending 15 or more hours a week on housework has fallen sharply since 2011.
