At the age of 43, Hill returned to first-class cricket for one match to assist in its re-establishment in Australia after the Great War.
In support of the benefits of some former colleagues, he played in a further two first-class matches with his best score of 66 coming in a game against Victoria.
His last match was for an Australian XI against New South Wales played to support Bill Howell's benefit.

In all Tests, Hill scored 3,412 runs at an average just under 40 runs per innings and including seven centuries.
When he retired he had scored more runs in Test cricket than any other player; a record he held for 12 years until surpassed by Jack Hobbs.
In 1902 Hill was the first to score 1,000 Test runs in a calendar year; the next to do so was Denis Compton 45 years later in 1947.
Prolific in Australian state cricket as well, he headed the South Australian first-class averages on ten occasions between 1895–96 and 1910–11.
In successive innings in 1909–10 he scored 175 against Victoria in Adelaide, 205 against New South Wales and 185 against Victoria in Melbourne.
He was the only Australian to score more than 17,000 runs in the period before pitches were protected from rain.
In club cricket he averaged more than 100 runs for the season on three occasions.

In 2003, the South Australian Cricket Association named the new southern grandstand at the Adelaide Oval the "Clem Hill Stand" in recognition of his contribution to South Australian cricket.
Hill was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2005.
