Understanding the Security of Payment Act

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (VIC) is designed to ensure that contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in the construction industry receive timely payments for their work and materials. By providing a structured process, the Act mitigates the risks of late or non-payment and offers a clear path for disputes resolution.
