Payment and adjudication in the Australian construction industry is governed by individual State and Territory legislation. Such legislation in Australia commenced on 26th March 2000, in New South Wales. Five States, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory (“ACT”) followed over the years, each of which has its own disparate security of payment legislation. Of the fourteen or so pieces of security of payment legislation internationally, eight are within Australia.

Pathways comprises a completely revamped suite of modular education and training programmes, and one very welcome addition is a dedicated route to Fellowship (FCIArb) for those wishing to specialise in adjudication.
