The Bill sought to decriminalise sex work by a number of legislative amendments. It would delete the term "common prostitute" from the "Criminal Law Consolidation Act" (1935) and "Summary Offences Act" (1953). In addition it would remove common law offences relating to sex work and add "sex work" to the "Equal Opportunity Act" making discrimination against a person for being a sex worker an offence. Criminal records relating to sex work, including brothels, would be deleted by amending the "Spent Convictions Act". The "Return to Work Act" would be amended to recognise commercial sexual services as in any other business. Sex workers would also be covered under the "Work Health and Safety Act"
