Webinar

Protecting Cash Flow: Legal update on NECA's Payment Terms

Late payments and cash flow pressure continue to be one of the biggest risks for contractors. Join us for a practical webinar on our updated Payment Terms templates (NSW, WA, QLD, ACT and TAS) and how businesses can use them to better protect cash flow, secure deposits, and improve debt recovery outcomes. 

This session is aimed at providing members with practical, commercially focused guidance on how to use the updated payment terms. The payment terms webinar will focus on key state differences, residential deposit and insurance requirements, progress payment clauses, Security of Payment interaction, and the practical steps needed to secure your cash flow and ensure compliance. 

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to issue the payment terms, common mistakes that weaken recovery options, and how the updated clauses can strengthen their position in debt recovery and adjudication.
