Community Participation in Snug
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A huge jump in childcare has shifted the community's focus in Snug since 2011. While more people are now caring for children, the area remains very active in other ways, with 21.5% of residents volunteering their time.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is much more common here than in most other areas. At 21.5%, this is well above the Tasmanian figure of 18% and the national figure of 14.1%, though it has fallen slightly since 2011.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid childcare has surged to 40.3%, which is far above the national figure and among the highest levels recorded. This rises alongside a little more housework and unpaid care than is typical across Australia.
