Safety and Support for Luxe Companions
Safety is the reason most people choose an agency over working alone, and it’s the area where agencies differ most. This page sets out exactly what we do, so you can compare it against anywhere else you’re considering.
Some of what follows is required of us by law. Some of it goes further. We’ve marked which is which, because you should know the difference between an agency meeting its obligations and an agency doing you a favour.
Safety is a legal obligation, not a courtesy
Since sex work was decriminalised in Queensland in August 2024, workplace health and safety law applies to this industry the same as any other. Every place a companion works is a workplace, and as the business running it we carry the primary duty to protect people working here from health and safety risks.
That’s a meaningful shift. It means safety isn’t something an agency chooses to offer – it’s something you’re entitled to. Our guide to Queensland escort work laws explains the framework in full.
Client screening
No enquiry reaches you unscreened.
- 1
Every booking request goes through our reception team first
Nothing reaches you until it has been through them.
- 2
Contact details are verified and cross-checked
We check against our own records before anything is confirmed. New clients go through additional verification.

Bad clients go on a shared do-not-book list
Any client who behaves badly toward any companion – pushing boundaries, arguing about the agreed service, being aggressive, or being difficult about payment – goes on it, and it’s shared across every companion working with us. One person’s bad experience protects everyone else.
You are never handed an unverified contact and told to sort it out yourself.
Check-in and check-out on every booking
Someone always knows where you are.
Every booking has a check-in when you arrive and a check-out when you finish, monitored by our team. If a check-in is missed, we act on it rather than waiting to see. You’ll be given the escalation process before your first booking and you’ll know exactly who to call and what happens next.
This applies to every booking, incall and outcall, at every hour. There is no shift where nobody is watching.
Secure locations
Our private incall locations are maintained by us and kept secure and discreet. You never need to host clients at home, and you never need to organise or pay for a space yourself. Home-hosting is one of the biggest safety and privacy risks independent workers take on, and we remove it entirely.
For outcall bookings, the location is confirmed and verified before you travel. We organise your transport to and from the booking, and travel and arrival are part of the check-in process rather than an afterthought.
Equipment and sexual health
Under WHS law, a sex work business must provide personal protective equipment free of charge, in a range of sizes, along with training on correct use. We meet that obligation.
- Condoms
- Water-based lubricant
- Dams
- Training on correct use
You will never be charged for condoms, lubricant or dams, and if the supply or the sizing isn’t right for you, tell us and we’ll fix it.
There are no longer criminal laws in Queensland dictating condom use or testing frequency. What remains is the practical reality: condoms with water-based lubricant, visual health checks, and regular testing are the most effective protection available. Queensland Health publishes free testing locations, and Respect Inc runs peer-led sexual health services in both Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.
We are also required to consult you about safety measures and equipment, rather than simply telling you what the arrangements are. If you think something we do could be safer, we want to hear it.
Your right to stop
This is the most important safety measure there is, and it costs nothing to offer, which is why any agency unwilling to state it plainly should worry you.
You can decline any booking before it starts, for any reason or none.
You don’t need to explain, and it doesn’t affect what you’re offered next.
You can end any booking that’s already underway.
If a client makes you uncomfortable, pushes at an agreed boundary, or something simply feels off, you end it and you call us. You will not be asked to justify it afterwards, and you will not be penalised.
Your service list is yours.
What you do and don’t offer is recorded before you start and is not renegotiated by us or by a client. Clients are told what’s on offer before a booking is confirmed. Anyone who tries to push past it during a booking has broken the terms of the booking, and that’s the end of it.
“We would rather lose a booking, and lose the client, than have you sit through something you don’t want to be in.”
If a client crosses a line
Queensland’s consent laws changed in September 2024, and it’s worth being precise about what they now cover.
Consent means actively agreeing, and it can be withdrawn at any point. Two situations are specifically recognised as removing consent: stealthing – where a condom isn’t used, is tampered with, is removed, or is knowingly allowed to fail – and a false promise of payment. In both cases the law treats what happened as rape or sexual assault.
These are crimes committed against you. Police no longer have any regulatory role in sex work, and a report should be treated seriously.
If something like this happens, we will end the booking, support you through reporting it if that’s what you decide, and add the client to the do-not-book list regardless. What you choose to report is entirely your decision, and we won’t pressure you either way.
Privacy
Safety and privacy overlap, and most people considering this work worry about both.
Your legal name is never published anywhere. Your working name is yours to choose. Photography is arranged to your comfort level, including face-obscured options, and you approve every image before it goes live. Nothing about you is published that you haven’t signed off on.
Your personal details are held securely and are never shared with clients. Our privacy policy sets out how we handle information.
Support beyond the booking
Not everything hard about this work happens during a booking.
Our reception team is available to talk through a difficult client, a booking that didn’t sit right, or anything else that’s on your mind. There’s no expectation that you deal with things alone.
We’d also actively encourage you to connect with peer support outside this agency. Respect Inc runs drop-in services in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, offering free, confidential, non-judgemental support from people who’ve done this work themselves. Scarlet Alliance is the national body. Neither is connected to us, and both are worth knowing about.
An agency that discourages you from talking to peer organisations is telling you something important about itself.
What to ask any agency
If you’re comparing us against somewhere else, these are the questions worth asking:
Who screens clients, and what does screening actually involve?
Is there a check-in system, and who monitors it?
Is there a shared do-not-book list?
Is PPE supplied free, in a range of sizes, as WHS law requires?
Can I refuse a booking mid-session with no penalty?
What’s the process?
Are there any fees, costs or deductions I’ll be responsible for?
Who do I call at 2am if something goes wrong?
Vague answers to any of these are the answer.
Everything above is standard for every companion working with us, from the first booking onward. Our escort jobs page covers earnings and how to apply, and our FAQ answers the practical questions.
