Community Participation in Kurrimine Beach
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Very few people in Kurrimine Beach provide unpaid childcare compared to ten years ago. While most community habits have stayed steady, the share of residents caring for children has dropped by 7 percentage points since 2011. This shift stands out in a place where other forms of volunteering and care remain common.
