Understanding the Security of Payment Act
The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 stands as a pivotal law in the Australian construction landscape. It guarantees that those who undertake construction work or supply building materials are entitled to timely progress payments. This Act not only simplifies the payment process but also offers an efficient method to resolve disputes over payments. Designed to curb insolvencies in the building and construction industry, it empowers builders and suppliers with a legal right to secure their dues, mandating principals to fulfil their payment obligations promptly and fairly.
