Community Participation in Warburton
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A stark gap exists between Warburton and the rest of the country regarding how people contribute to their community. While over half of the residents provide unpaid childcare, very few people here volunteer, a figure that has dropped sharply since 2011.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 4.2% of people in Warburton volunteer, which is among the lowest rate for similar areas and well below the national figure of 14.1%. This is a significant drop from 2011, when 28.6% of the community volunteered.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid childcare is very common here, with 52.5% of people providing this care—far above the Western Australian figure of 28.5%. However, only 5.7% of residents provide other types of unpaid care, which is well below the national average.
