What are my rights as a sex worker leaving my job?

Question

Accepted Answer

You can stop doing sex work any time you want. It’s illegal to be forced into doing sex work, or be forced to carry on doing it.
No-one can make you stop doing sex work (but if you’re under 18, it’s illegal for them to help you do it).
Work and Income benefit rules are the same for sex workers leaving their work as for anyone else. There will usually be a stand-down period of one to two weeks.
If Work and Income or ACC are trying to help you get off a benefit or ACC compensation and back into work, they are not allowed to expect you to go back to sex work if you don’t want to.
