About the Security of Payment Act
The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 stands as a cornerstone in the Australian construction industry, ensuring the right to progress payments for those involved in construction work or supplying building materials. This act not only facilitates a swifter, more cost-effective resolution of payment disputes but also underpins the legal framework for builders and suppliers to receive due payments. Principals are mandated to deliver these payments or provide a clear payment schedule. This legislation plays a crucial role in addressing and reducing insolvency issues within the building and construction sector across Australia.
