You can find sex workers through their adverts in:

• Most local and some daily newspapers – in the classified section under Adult Services/ Personals,
• the Yellow Pages under “A” for Adult Services and “E” for Escort Services or
• the Internet – when using a search engine enter key words, for example: “sex worker, male, Sydney, NSW” or “Escort, female, Newcastle, NSW” etc.

You can also locate sex workers on some streets although there are only about half a dozen such areas in all of NSW.

You might be able to talk to your friends, carers or service providers as they may know of a suitable place or person for you.
