What is the situation with Brothels in Hobart, Tasmania? Legal, illegal, secret, undercover. What about escorts, parlours and other adult services? Prostitution and hookers even?
I’ve frequented Hobart many days as a young boy, and young man.
Not once have a heard a whisper or even a conversation about their brothel scene, let alone seen a lady street walker.
Hobart is a port town, as with most Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Hobart is not renowned for it’s night life compared with the club scene of Melbourne and Sydney, but it is renowned, and has a long history of sailors, all the way back to the Port Arthur days, which is a short drive down South. We all know where there are ports, tourists and sailors there are brothels and bordellos.
So it is suprising to know Brothels are illegal in Tasmania. I’m sure there are some around town, but they would be illegal. Illegal brothels can be unsafe, as they are not subject to the same checks and licensing such as STD tests. Any details about brothels and massage parlours in Hobart and Tasmania will be kept secret from the internet. Private Escorts, however, are legal in Tasmania.
Sex work in Tasmania is legal if NO MORE than two sex workers work together, however there are conditions.
They say Tasmania is about 1 hour from Melbourne, but 10 years behind (even the TV show Neighbours was around 10 years behind a short time ago, true story). Being gay was illegal there up until fairly recently. Their government seems to be a little slack on the human rights and good nights out way of thinking.
There are brothels in Hobart – see r pages.
In Tasmania brothels are technically illegal. You will not find any brothels (that are legal, so listing any here would either be false, or asking for trouble), apart from this the nearest and closest you will come to a brothel in Hobart are their massage parlours.
