SEX INDUSTRY ACT 2019 (NO 40 OF 2019) - SECT 9

Refusal to perform sex work

    (1)     Despite anything in a contract for sex work, a person may, at any time, refuse to perform or continue to perform sex work.

    (2)     The fact that a person has entered into a contract for sex work does not of itself constitute consent for the purposes of the criminal law if the person does not consent, or withdraws the person's consent, to performing sex work.

    (3)     However, nothing in this section affects any right to rescind or cancel, or to recover damages for, a contract for sex work that is not performed.
