Under security of payment legislation, the governments of NSW, Queensland and Victoria have appointed Adjudicate Today to assist industry participants understand how the Acts operate and claim the protections and benefits provided by the Acts. We are also responsible for managing the dispute resolution (adjudication) process and training and appointing the judges (adjudicators).
Adjudicators appointed to the various State Adjudicate Today panels have received comprehensive training on the Building & Construction Industry Payments Act. In Queensland they have undergone a comprehensive registration process conducted by the Adjudication Registrar. In addition, Adjudicate Today requires all adjudicators attend further workshops and training on a regular basis. 
Under the Acts, we are called an Authorised Nominating Authority (ANA). Adjudicate Today's quality of service has been recognised by industry participants through their actions. More adjudication applications are referred to Adjudicate Today than any other ANA either in Australia or, we understand, anywhere in the world.
Since its inception, Adjudicate Today has not charged a fee to commence an application nor to answer queries or assist in understanding the Acts. We deduct a service fee from the fee paid to the adjudicator after the decision has been completed. Generally, when the claimant has demonstrated an entitlement for payment, all fees are fully recoverable from the respondent.
Information on the adjudication process is quickly available by contacting the trained Adjudicate Today staff who will ensure all parties are aware of the relevant requirements of the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act, particularly the tight time frames in which applications and responses must be submitted and determined.
Please use www.adjudicate.com.au as a tool in your business. In addition, our professional and courteous staff are always available to answer queries and assist with understanding the Acts.
