Don't Cross the Line! Think about the Outmoded State Laws when Escorting in Australia

Escorting in Australia? Well, then you must read this article before stepping out into the world. Australian laws for sex workers are really confusing. As soon as you cross the border of one state, the laws get changed. What is acceptable in one state become serious crimes in another. This guide is for the clients on the move and for the travel escorts. We have tried to be as concise and information-rich as possible. 

If we talk about the coolest states with practically most lenient laws, New South Wales and Sydney tops the charts. Here, pleasure can be attained without worrying about any (legal) pain. 

On the contrary, Victoria has the most stringent laws where private escorts are allowed to offer only outcalls unless they have a permit. If you are a Victorian escort, you need to take care about the advertising aspect as well. Go through any escort’s profile in Victoria, you will not find about the services they are offering. (Are we serious? Yes! That’s what the Victorian escorts are mandated to) Also, their images will display no other parts of the body except head to shoulder. This sounds crazy because c’mon they are selling sex not giving a bio data for marriage! But, hey, it’s true. 

Well, Queensland is also not far behind Victoria. In fact, they are a step further because escort agencies are considered illegal here. If you are a BDSM expert, you aren’t allowed to promote yourself with any of the BDSM equipment or even a whip. The Queensland Escorts too aren’t allowed to display full frontal nude images. As an independent escort, you decide to provide outcall services; you cannot hire a driver for self unless you don’t have the crowd controller’s license which becomes threatening at the same time. 

If you are running an establishment in Western Australia, you are in big mess because brothels are illegal here. Unless you are a single independent escort offering the service from single premises, you are barred to do it. 

Similar to Western Australia, brothels are considered illegal in Northern Territory. An independent escort is not allowed to hire a driver for self. Hey, wait! There’s still more bizarre things to read are left. If the escort receives the booking in her apartment, she cannot provide that service in that same apartment. Hilarious, no? Yeah! 

Can someone please elaborate the laws in Adelaide? They are regressive in nature and discourage people from taking up the sex work. So, the law says that it is fine that escorts are there and escort agencies, private escorts and brothels are completely fine. BUT what is not so fine is the earning. Receiving money in an establishment for the service offered will be considered as prostitution and ILLEGAL.

Canberra, on the other hand, is still flexible with their laws. The only restrictions they place are on the independent escorts. They discourage them to share the premise or work together.
If you are in Tasmania and working as the Private Escort, you are ruling the roost because both escort agencies and establishments are considered illegal. Independent escorts can even work there but so far as two people are involved. 

The time has come to change the mindset and evolve with the generation and remove such mindless restrictions that give way for others to create shortcuts. Be like Sydney or NSW!
