The ACT Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act 2009 establishes a rapid adjudication process so that people who carry out construction work, or supply goods and services, can receive timely payment.
Under this process, if a person makes a payment claim and it is not paid in accordance with the process in the Act, they may apply to an authorised nominating authority (ANA) for an adjudication. The ANA appoints an adjudicator to hear disputes about account payments instead of the matter having to be heard in court.
