ANNUAL RETAINER

Six problems currently keeping Australian business owners up at night.

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

Compliance & Policy Radar

Plain English tracking of the changes actually 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.

Industrial Relations Compliance

Right to disconnect, Same Job Same Pay and payroll obligations reviewed against your actual rosters and contracts — an annual HR and payroll audit, not a generic checklist.

Government Tender &

Grant Matching

We monitor AusTender, forward procurement plans and state portals against your capability profile, flag SME set asides and procurement targets, then tell you which ones may be winnable.

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.

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.

Energy & Insurance Cost Management

Practical strategy 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.

One retainer. Four moving parts.
