How does the Security of Payment Act work in Tasmania?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
In Tasmania, the Security of Payment Act ensures that subcontractors and suppliers get paid on time. It allows them to make payment claims and, if unpaid, they can apply for adjudication. The process is designed to resolve disputes quickly to keep cash flow moving.
Key points
- Subcontractors can make payment claims.
- Unpaid claims can lead to adjudication.
- Fast resolution helps with cash flow.
The Act lays out clear deadlines for payment and responses. If a principal or contractor doesn't pay on time, the subcontractor has the right to initiate adjudication. This keeps the project moving and helps avoid lengthy disputes.
