Policy & opportunity intelligence,

built for Australian SMEs

Know what's changing
before it costs you.

See the work as it's advertised.

The Molico Brief turns government's paperwork and the public procurement pipeline into a plain english, weekly briefing, so your business acts on policy and market opportunity instead of reacting to it.

Briefing feed 

24 JUL 2026 Policy

Payday Super starts in 5 days

Employers must pay super on the same day as wages from 1 July: ATO's PCG 2026/1 grace period explained for low-risk employers.

18 JUL 2026 Security

Essential Eight now a de facto contract gate

Maturity Level 2 is increasingly the threshold for cyber insurance and enterprise or government contract eligibility.

14 JUL 2026 Policy

Division 296 super tax lands 1 July

New tax on large super balances begins alongside the instant asset write-off cliff — cash flow planning window is narrow.

National, state & territory feeds

Fixed fee

Annual retainer

Six problems currently keeping Australian business owners up at night.

Each is a live, moving target. Membership means someone is watching for you, year round.

01 · Policy Radar

Compliance & Policy Radar

Plain English tracking of the changes landing this year: Payday Super, Division 296, the instant asset write off cliff, right to disconnect and the new cash payment mandate. Each with a dated action checklist, not just a headline.

02 · Procurement

Government Tender & Grant Monitoring

We monitor AusTender, forward procurement plans and state portals,  flag SME set asides and procurement targets, to help you decide which ones are actually winnable.

03 · Digital & AI

Digital & AI Adoption Advisory

Most owners say their digital transformation is still incomplete. We help prioritise automation, set up basic AI governance, and avoid the tools that create compliance exposure instead of removing it.

04 · Cost Pressure

Energy & Insurance Cost Management

Practical strategies for the post rebate energy market and rising insurance premiums, benchmarked against comparable members so you know if a quote is fair before you sign it.


05 · Workforce

Industrial Relations Compliance

Right to disconnect, Same Job Same Pay and payroll obligations changes reviewed so you don't end up in the dark before your annual HR and payroll audit.


06 · Supply Chain

Supply Chain Resilience Reviews

Guidance on diversifying suppliers, negotiating force-majeure and price review clauses, and finding local sourcing or buying group partners to reduce exposure to global shocks.


One retainer. Four moving parts.

01

Onboard & profile

15 minute capability call. We build your business profile so briefings and tender matches are filtered to what's actually relevant.


02

Weekly briefing lands

Every week, a short, dated briefing covering policy changes, tender matches and anything urgent. Read in under five minutes.


03

Act inside the portal

Log in to see the full opportunity list, link to source documents, and be organised before a deadline sneaks past you.


04

Pitch & connect

Post your capability statement to the members' directory and get introduced to other member businesses looking to team on a bid.


An annual retainer, not a subscription you forget about.

Every tier is billed annually and includes the weekly briefing. Higher tiers add direct advisory hours and deeper portal access.
