Community Participation in Canteen Creek
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly half of all adults in Canteen Creek provide unpaid childcare, a figure far above both the Territory and national levels. This heavy focus on family care defines the area's community activity, even though other forms of volunteering are very low. Most residents do not serve in the Defence Force.

Only 6.5% of people here volunteer, which is well below the 14.1% figure for Australia and the Northern Territory. However, this rate has risen 4.6 points since 2011.
