'Sex work gives me a lot of flexibility': Two university educated sex workers talk to the Herald's Helen Pitt | pitthen

Steven Siewert

"When I found out I could leave a poorly paid stressful retail job for much more money in a job I could work around my uni schedule and in uni holidays, I jumped at it," she says. The arrangement is similar to that of Michaela Dunn, who allegedly shared her Clarence Street apartment with another sex worker, making it meet the City of Sydney Council regulations for home-based sex services. Providing there are no more than two workers, no signage and it does not interfere with the amenity of neighbours, this is perfectly legal. In Dunn's case, there had been no complaints from neighbours at her Clarence Street address, the City of Sydney confirms.
