How do Capital Guardians get paid?


Capital Guardians sole purpose is to keep costs down and make things simple, subsequently:
- Capital Guardians pays invoices immediately from its own money, and gets reimbursed the following month or later from the Government paying monthly financial claims by the Approved Provider for Home Care. This can be upto 40 days after the payment is made.
- The service is designed to keep the price down (i.e. $3 per month) to the very minimum and subsequently operates mostly automatically with little manual intervention. Capital guardians have fully automated where possible for adding new users; paying service providers and record deposits.
- To pay service providers quickly, and making invoicing simple, there is a 2% merchant fee on home care invoices (cheaper than PayPal and Amex and depending on provider, comparable with Visa and Mastercard).
- Software development was briefed to build a system that was capable of millions of transactions per year and at least 500,000 customers. The application has been developed in php (common programming code), with an infinitely scalable SQL server database and sits on the world’s largest hosting provider, Amazon, in their Australian hosting facility.
- The work-intensive part of capital guardians is mobilising the service into new communities. This comprises solely of training, answering queries, and change management. There are no project or consulting costs, typical of information technology projects.
There are no contracts. If our service is no longer required, please let Capital Guardians know, in writing (i.e. email) and include the bank account details for the return of monies.
