Self-managed vs a full-service package
Choosing self-managed Support at Home with Trilogy Care, rather than a full-service package, saves the average pensioner about $9,672 a year on cleaning, around 134 more hours of care from the same funding and the same worker.
Based on cleaning at $72/hr (Trilogy Care, self-managed) versus $134/hr (national full-service rate-card average), 3 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. Real figures vary by postcode and service. Rates as at May 2026. See the methodology.
Pricing data is sourced from government records and provider submissions. Actual costs may vary. Always confirm pricing directly with your chosen provider.
