Sex work laws have changed in Queensland.

Sex work laws are different across each state and territory of Australia. What is legal in one state is not necessarily legal in another.

Changes to sex work laws were passed in Queensland parliament in May and have now commenced including the Decriminalising Sex Work Act 2024.

It is no longer a criminal offence to do sex work. Sex work is work and is regulated in the same way as other work. Work Health & Safety applies to any place sex work happens.

This information sheet explains the changes based on the information currently available as decriminalisation is implemented in Queensland.
