Community Participation in Yarralin
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A huge 61% of people in Yarralin provide unpaid childcare, which is far above the national figure of 26.3%. This creates a strong contrast in community life, as the area has very high rates of family care but far fewer volunteers than most other parts of the country.
