A brothel is a place/building or club where adult entertainment is available for people. Brothels are where people come to engage in intimate activities and are ready to pay for them. Even a decade ago, a person working in the sex industry was looked down upon by society. Still, things have changed, and it has become a legalised and regulated industry. Brothel jobs in Sydney are legalised, and one can take different types of jobs.
The article will discuss the legalisation of sex work in Australia and how things have changed. Also, the article will list the different types of jobs available for people who want to join the adult industry.
Decriminalisation of sex work in Australia
Sex services are legal in Australia, but it is illegal for someone to employ, manage or profit from another individual's work (sex worker). The lasted region/local government to legalise sex work was Victoria. The parliament passed the Sex Work Decriminalisation Act 2022 on Feb 22 this year.
The situation is the same in Sydney. NSW decriminalised prostitution in 1979, and brothels are legal in NSW under the Summary Offences Act 1988. However, the same Act says that unless a person owns or manages a brothel, making money from a sex worker is illegal in Sydney.
The red light areas in Sydney are mainly in the inner city. However, you can find around 39 brothels in the city itself, most of which are in the eastern half. The places where you can find these brothels are Potts Point, Woolloomooloo, the City centre, Darlinghurst, etc.
So, what are the different types of sex jobs one can do?
As sex work became legal in Sydney, one can choose to do various jobs in the city. These jobs are regulated under the NSW Act, and there is no need to be worried.
Some of the professions in the adult industry are:
Entertainer
The entertainer is someone who performs different roles in the nightclub. They are usually pole dancers and strippers who perform in nightclubs and bachelor parties. These entertainers are usually hired by agencies and can be found working separately. Brothel jobs in Sydney are getting popular and more people, irrespective of sex/gender, are joining this industry.
Receptionist
Yes, a receptionist in a brothel comes under the NSW Act. A receptionist is someone who manages the brothel and keeps a record of the bookings and reviews given. They pass this information on to the concerned agencies as well.
Prostitute
A prostitute is someone hired solely for sexual activity. One who is hired for such a purpose must give and take consent. Prostitutes are paid hourly and per the duration and types of services offered.
Stripper
You can say a stripper is the most sought-after or popular profession in the sex industry. Sydney's nightclubs are popular for strippers and dancers, and people from across the world visit these clubs. Nightlife is also a part of tourism in Sydney, and the government supports the proper running of clubs and casinos in the city.
One can choose these professions if they are interested in the adult industry. They can change this profession whenever they want, and the Australian government offers support for sex workers and adult entertainers. It is possible because of the government’s regulation of the adult industry and the passing of laws to govern them from time to time.
