Security of Payment – Industry Associations Member Survey

This is a joint survey of industry associations representing subcontractors, including AMCA, FPAA, MEA, Master Plumbers Assoc QLD (MPAQ) and NFIA. We want to hear your experiences of non-payment to support our advocacy for better security of payment measures for subcontractors. If you have been unpaid on multiple occasions, we encourage you to complete multiple surveys for each instance of non-payment. The results of the survey will be used for joint advocacy purposes and unless you agree otherwise your responses will be anonymous. This survey is being coordinated by Master Electricians Australia and its privacy policy can be accessed here.
If you would like to discuss your matter with your association, or if you are happy to be identified in relation to your responses, please contact your relevant industry association directly.
