This is Anglicare SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND, a separate organisation from Anglicare Sydney (anglicare.org.au). Anglicare Sydney now publishes its own Support at Home fee schedule, effective 1 July 2026: personal care $135.15 an hour standard, domestic assistance $114.20 an hour, with a 25% surcharge on visits under an hour (anglicare.org.au/seniors/home-care/costs-and-payments/, verified 2026-07-24). If the person you care for is with Anglicare Sydney, use that schedule, not this one. Corrected 2026-07-24: an earlier version of this note said Anglicare Sydney published no Support at Home schedule of its own; it does now.

A few things worth knowing
- Short visits usually cost more than a pro-rata slice of the minimum visit length.
- Some providers blend Saturday and Sunday into one weekend rate rather than pricing them separately.
- Overnight respite is often priced as a flat block, not an hourly rate.
