Mable does not publish a single fixed weekday personal care rate.
Every figure on this page checked 24 July 2026.
Mable is a platform, not a care provider. Workers set their own rates directly, with a $39 an hour platform minimum. Mable publishes indicative averages for January to June 2026: weekday personal care around $55 to $65 an hour agreed, plus a 7.95% client platform fee (a worked example: a $58 an hour agreed rate becomes $62.61 an hour paid). There is no single published rate to compare like-for-like against a provider's fixed price list.
Why there's no hours-per-week figure here
Mable doesn't publish one fixed rate, so an hours-per-week figure here would be a guess, not a fact. Put a rate you've actually been quoted into the hours calculator instead.

It means you can check the price against your own invoice, and hold this to it. Booking structure, care management, and which services are actually approved matter just as much as the headline rate. Contributions are separate again. Clinical services carry none. Independence and everyday-living services are .

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.
