The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2002 (Vic) (‘the Act’) is designed to streamline procedures within the construction and building industry by ensuring that any person who carries out work under a contract receives payment.

It gives statutory rights for on-going payment for any person who carries out work under a construction industry contract.
The new rental laws aim to set minimum standards for rental properties in Victoria and clarify the rights and responsibilities of both tenants and landlords.

This includes repairs and modification to rooming houses, long term leases, notices to vacate and pet ownership.
