Understanding the Security of Payment Act
The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 plays a pivotal role in the Australian construction sector, designed to ensure fair and timely progress payments for those involved in construction work or supplying building materials. This legislation not only establishes legal rights for builders and suppliers to receive these payments but also streamlines the process for resolving payment disputes. A key aim of the Act is to address and reduce instances of insolvency in the building and construction industry, offering a more efficient and cost-effective solution for managing financial transactions and obligations within the sector.
