Understanding the Security of Payment Act

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (VIC) is designed to facilitate prompt payment for contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors. This legislation ensures that you can claim progress payments for the work performed or goods and services supplied, providing a clear process to follow in cases of late or non-payment.

Given the strict and short timeframes within the Act, it’s crucial to have experienced legal guidance to navigate these requirements successfully and secure your payments effectively.
