When can you claim, and when does the payment fall due

Security of Payment gives you a right to be paid that does not depend on the builder agreeing with you, and it hangs on dates. The month you may claim for, the earliest day you may serve, the day their payment schedule is due back, and the day the payment itself falls due. Each one is set either by your subcontract or, where the contract is silent, by the Act.

Fill in what your contract says and this works the dates out for New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, showing the section behind each one. Where it cannot work a date out it asks you the question instead of putting up a number that looks plausible.
