Hi, I'm not familiar with 3 capes.
A quick search showed "assisted" 4 day trips, where you carry a day pack, and stay in huts/cabins with your sleeping gear and food for stay taken care of.
Is that the kind of thing you're looking for?
Guided walks are expensive, you're paying a for profit organization to provide someone with suitable (I guess) certification/experience and insurance, plus food, and maybe extra goodies.
If you do your own logistics (get yourself from A to B, carry gear, planning) you can do it for the price of the campsites.
There is a circuit on the GPT you can do Halls Gap to Bugiga via the Pinacle day 1. Bugiga to Burrough Huts via Mt Rosea day 2 and return to Halls Gap day 3 via the eastern side of Lake Bellfield.
That would only cost the campsite fees (which are expensive, probably around $100).
It does have the downside that it is steep in places, and with a heavy pack on it, might be a bit of an ask.
The Great Ocean Walk might be possible.
It's a point to point walk (I've not done it, so this may not be most accurate - so investigate for yourself), but I believe at several points on the way you can catch the bus that travels between Apollo bay and Port Campbell.
So, you can start drive your car to a place, catch bus back to another place and walk back to your car. Or start walking from your car, go for a few days, then catch bus back to car.
There are camping sites that you pay for along the way. You just need to carry your own gear and food an it would be not too expensive. (There are also paid supported or assisted walks on the GOW, but again, your paying someone else to do the work, and provide food/camp logistices, so $$$).
