Divvying up domestic duties can be as challenging as the chores themselves, with new data showing one in five Aussies do up to 30 hours of unpaid admin every week.

A national study conducted by family organisational app Eggy, has found that the vast majority of people - 74.3% - are bogged down by up to 10 hours of life admin chores.

Of those who say they bear the bulk of the mental load of organising their household, 52.3% are aged between 35 and 49, perhaps a nod to the tough gig that is raising a young family.

In news that’ll surprise no one, 70.6% of ‘mental load bearers’ are female and just 28.3% are men.

“If you’re doing 30 hours of life admin, even at the minimum wage in Australia, that’s almost $700 of unpaid work per week,” says Eggy founder, Kate Morgan.

“That’s organising kids’ school events, sport on the weekends, household bills and groceries - it’s an almost never ending ‘to do’ list, and just constantly thinking about that is exhausting.”

Eggy was devised by Morgan and her husband, former NRL hardman, Kirk Reynoldson, as a holistic solution to centralise all of life’s necessary information and to reclaim some mental clarity. 

The couple plan to take the app international in 2024.
