For Brothel Operators

 

If you are considering starting a brothel, or you work with sex workers in your job, NZPC can provide valuable information.

We support sex workers to have options in how they work, and brothels to provide safe and sustainable working environments, free from exploitation, coercion, and fines. We can provide you with resources that help your business to stay within the law and provide a safe and sound venue to seek employment.

People who have run businesses in other industries may not appreciate the particular issues that arise relating to sex work. There can be unforeseen hurdles in hiring people to work with you, and in meeting legal obligations.

NZPC provides information on the laws around operating a brothel, including

  • Who can operate a brothel
  • Council zoning
  • Hiring sex workers
  • Occupational Safety and Health
  • Tax obligations
  • The principal contractor/contractor relationship
  • Applying for a Brothel Operators Certificate
  • The New Zealand Legal Model

We have resources which help brothel operators achieve best practice, and can direct you to important statutory information about certification and occupational health and safety.

NZPC has more than three decades of expertise in the sex industry, and is committed to maintaining constructive relationships with brothel operators throughout New Zealand.

All Business Code of Conduct (The Business ABC)

Many New Zealand sex industry businesses, both big and small, are committed to conducting their affairs with the highest ethical and legal standards. NZPC developed The Business ABC with sex workers and brothel operators. It sets best practise guidelines for sex work businesses. It contains information about upholding rights and conditions, prevention of violence, hiring and contracting workers, privacy, workplace practices, alcohol and other drugs, as well as combating stigma.

The Business ABC is designed to be hung in your premises, for sex workers and other staff to view.

You can view and download the Business ABC from our Resources page, or contact us to obtain a poster of the Code, learn more about implementing it, or provide feedback for future amendments.
