Prostitution and the law in Queensland
There are two forms of legal sex work in Queensland:
Private work (sole operators) – where a single sex worker works alone – is legal in Queensland, but it is an offence to publicly solicit (meaning, approach someone in the street or another public place) for the purposes of prostitution.
Sex work conducted in a licensed brothel is legal in Queensland.
It is illegal to work from an unlicensed brothel or parlour or for two or more sex workers to share one premises (even if the workers both work alone in split shifts), and out-calls provided by a licensed brothel are also illegal.
