Sex workers consultation day - June 30
Yes, CRIMSON COALITION is having a sex workers’ consultation day!
Brisbane 30th June 2009
The consultation day is to let sex workers know what is going on and get some feedback on what we have planned so far in our work with Queensland Health to develop a new state-wide organisation to replace SQWISI
The new organisation – United Sex Workers – will be managed and staffed by past and present sex workers to deliver education and support on sexual health and other issues relevant to sex workers.
We need a lot of past or present sex workers keen to get involved on a voluntary basis and/or provide feedback.
So a consultation day is being held in Brisbane on 30th June 2009 and we’d like you to come
We especially encourage male, transgender, Chinese and Thai sex workers to attend, as well as all you other working ladies, old and young, wherever you work!

Can private workers in Queensland have a receptionist or a driver?
In a word - NO, not yet.
There have been a few requests for info about this recently because the State Government have decided to go ahead with the Crime and Misconduct Commission recommendations from the REGULATING OUTCALLS review which included a proposal to allow private sex workers to have a receptionist. However, the government haven't changed the law yet and there's no way of telling how it will be changed or when.
So the legal situation for private sex workers in Queensland is still that you have to work alone unless you hire a bodyguard (with a Crowd Controllers' Licence) but this bodyguard cannot place your advertisement or answer your phone or take the money or be your driver.
Whether you can pay a driver to do outcalls is still a grey area.
Some police from the Prostitution Enforcement Task Force (PETF) have said in the past that it is ok to pay a driver (just like you would a cab driver or a chauffeur) but only if the driver gets a fee to drive only and doesn't hold the money or act as a bodyguard.

Sexual Health Awareness Week Feb 14 - 21
Hey Sexy
Wanna get your rocks off but stay safe? Do yourself a favour and see a sex worker!
Did you know that:
Wanna get your rocks off but stay safe? Do yourself a favour and see a sex worker!
Did you know that:
- Sex workers use safer sex techniques with their clients and know all about how to use condoms, dams and lubes to maintain their own sexual health as well as their client's?
- It's against the law in Queensland for a client to ask a sex worker to provide a sexual service (vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex) without a condom or dam?
- There has been no documented case of HIV transmission by a sex worker to a client (or vice versa) in Australia?
Sex workers are safer sexual health workers!
