Understanding the Security of Payment Act

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (TAS) provides contractors, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors the legal means to claim progress payments for their work. Whether it’s late payments, short payments, or non-payments, the Act lays out a structured process to ensure you get paid on time.
