Debt recovery in Queensland — your questions

Does Queensland have SOPA for construction?
Yes. The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 (Qld) replaced the earlier BCIPA and provides payment security rights for construction subcontractors.
What is QCAT?
The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal handles minor civil disputes, consumer claims, and some commercial disputes. For larger commercial debts, the Magistrates Court or District Court is appropriate.
