Security of Payment laws may help you take formal action

Security of Payment laws are designed to help contractors and subcontractors claim payment for construction work. The exact process and deadlines depend on the state or territory where the work was completed.

✓You may be able to serve a payment claim
✓The respondent may need to respond within a set timeframe
✓If they do not pay or respond, further options may be available
✓Records of invoices, site work and correspondence can help support your claim

PayClaim does not provide legal advice. If your matter is complex, disputed or already in legal proceedings, seek advice from a qualified construction lawyer.
