Sydney’s escorting scene offers lucrative opportunities—but breaking into the industry requires strategy, self-awareness, and a firm grasp of NSW laws. Whether you’re drawn to agency life or independently freelancing, this AE-backed guide covers everything from legal requirements to earning $500+/hour. Let’s dive in.
Step 1: Understand Sydney’s Legal Landscape
NSW decriminalized sex work in 1995, meaning escorts operate legally under these rules:
✅ Age: You must be 18+ (ID required for agency registration).
✅ Taxes: Register as a sole trader and report income to the ATO.
✅ Health: No mandatory STI testing, but AE and top agencies require biweekly checks.
Avoid: Working near schools or religious centers—it violates local zoning laws.
