Prostitution is legal in the state of Queensland, although it's also highly regulated by several state bodies, including the Prostitution Licencing Authority. If you'd like to read the whole 161-page Prostitution Act of 1999 you can find it here [Editor's note: the link is real, but also rhetorical], otherwise the short explanation is that prostitution is legal in two forms, namely, at registered, licenced brothels and through private sex workers who are strictly independent. The former are obviously the safer options both in terms of health and personal security, and you can find more info about the most reputable providers below.
