The law in Queensland, in general terms

Queensland changed its approach to sex work in 2024. From August that year, sex work between consenting adults was decriminalised, and the old system of licensed brothels, private workers and criminal offences was replaced by a framework in which the work is treated much like other lawful businesses. For Brisbane escorts and their clients, that means the general laws that apply to everyone now do most of the work.

In practice, independent workers can work alone or with others, and venues operate under the same broad rules as other businesses, including local planning and workplace health and safety requirements. Workers also gained protection from discrimination on the basis of their work. The details of planning rules differ from one council to another, which is why some suburbs have venues and others do not.

What has not changed is that every booking depends on clear, freely given consent from both adults, and that a companion can decline or end a booking at any time. Respect that absolutely, and expect the same respect in return.

This is a general summary, not legal advice, and laws can change. If you need advice about your own situation, speak to a lawyer or a worker-led support organisation. The full Brisbane escorts list shows every type of advertiser working under the current rules.
