Model
Decriminalization Legislation
(from PENET)
PENET Editor's Note: This was proposed
legislation, not yet adopted in South Australia. This is submitted
as model legislation which decriminalizes and regulates the
industry. In Australia there is a precedent for this legislation.
For example, The Prostitution ACT of 1992 (currently in effect)
from the Australian Capital Territories contains some of these
provisions, but is not a complete model for decriminalization.
Please note that a number of the regulations below contradict
some sex workers' rights agendas. These are explained in the
editor's
notes linked to this text [on PENET].
BAYSWAN

organizes to improve working conditions, increase safety and
services for workers, and to eliminate discrimination on behalf
of individuals working within both legal and criminalized adult
entertainment industries.

Practices Policy Project

to creating excellence amongst organizations and advocates working

in all its forms.
Network
of Sex Work Projects
In 1991 an informal alliance of sex workers and organizations
that provide services to sex workers formed as the Network of

on independently-financed projects. This site is full of resources,
