Jon was an integral member of the NSW Government Department of Commerce’s project team which reviewed the original 1999 Act, undertook industry consultation, developed and guided the NSW 2002 Amendment Act through to assention in March 2003.

Jon was instrumental in the development and circulation of the 2002 Discussion Paper and the 2003 NSW Government’s brochure and information kit which was widely distributed to industry of which much of the information is still being used to this day.

Soon thereafter Jon became the Department of Commerce’s “Manager, Security of Payment” and overseered the implementation of the amended Act and subsequently undertook and completed the 2004 Review of the amended Act. He assisted many industry participants and associations understand the provisions of the amended Act and also assisted both the QLD and Singapore governments develop their own Security of Payment legislation.

During Jon’s career Jon was committed to inform and educate industry of the provisions of the legislation and to assist industry help itself in resolving disputes over payment.
