Sex Work Laws, Health & Support Resources (Australia-Wide)

City List Co cares about keeping the adult industry informed, safe, and supported. Whether you’re an escort, brothel worker, independent companion, or someone working behind the scenes, staying updated on local laws and knowing where to find help is essential.

Because legislation differs across states — and can change without much warning — we always recommend checking Scarlet Alliance, Australia’s national sex worker organisation, for the latest updates.

Below you’ll find a list of useful links for each Australian state and territory, including legal information, outreach services, and community support networks.
