Community Participation in Yuelamu
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A huge gap exists between Yuelamu and the rest of the country in how people contribute to their community. While unpaid childcare is very common here, other forms of volunteering and service are almost non-existent compared to national figures.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
No one in Yuelamu reported volunteering, a figure that is far below the 14.1% seen across both the Northern Territory and Australia.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Caring for children is very common, with 53.1% of people doing so unpaid, which is far above the national figure of 26.3%. In contrast, the proportion of people providing other unpaid care (3.5%) and those doing 15 or more hours of housework (9.7%) are both well below the territory and national averages.
