Cleaning prices in Australia

Compare cleaning hourly rates across Australia

Self-managed cleaning in Australia costs about $66 an hour through Support at Home, against about $134 an hour on a full-service package. That is the same care delivered by the same kind of worker, with the coordination markup stripped out. The table below sets every rate side by side so you can see the gap for yourself.

Self-management is one way for you to run your care, your worker and your funding. Having someone else coordinate it for you as a full service is another. This page sets out the hourly rates for both, so the choice is yours.

These are representative national rates, not prices for a specific suburb. Enter a postcode above to localise the comparison where local data is available.

Important information

Prices shown are publicly available provider price lists as required by The Department of Health under Support at Home. Co-contribution amounts are based on rates set by Services Australia (not your registered Aged Care Provider). We've used the default rates published by The Department of Health, but your individual means test by Services Australia may result in a different outcome. This comparison is general in nature, for information and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial or care advice.
