Safety On The Job

Your guide to working private bookings

Start here

Welcome to the team

This guide is here to keep you safe, in control, and looked after on every booking. Read it before your first job. Come back to it whenever you need a refresher. Nothing in here is complicated, but all of it matters.

It is written for girls going straight into private bookings, bucks parties, boys nights, birthdays, and private functions. You do not need venue or skimpy experience to work with us. You just need to know how to keep yourself safe, and that is exactly what this covers.

One promise from us: you will never be pressured to do anything you are not comfortable with. Not by a client, not by another girl, not by us. Your boundaries are the whole point.

How to use this guide

  • New to the industry? Read it cover to cover. The fundamentals are all here.
  • Been doing this a while? Use it as your reference. The rules do not change with experience.
  • Unsure about anything? Message Leyla before the booking, not during it.

The line that never moves

No sexual services. Ever.

Private waitressing and strip shows do not include prostitution or sexual services of any kind. This is the one rule that has zero flexibility, and it protects you more than anything else in this guide.

No sex with clients. Not for money, not for free, not even if you find them attractive. No sexual favours of any kind while working through LL&Co.

There must be no crossover between adult entertainment and prostitution. Keeping that line clean is what keeps the work legal, keeps you safe, and keeps the whole network trusted.

If this line is crossed

LL&Co. may stop or cancel the booking, suspend or remove the contractor or client from future bookings, record and review the incident, and take lawful and reasonably necessary safety steps.

Any external disclosure will be limited to what is accurate, necessary, lawful and proportionate.

Where these rules apply

If the client, booking or opportunity was sourced, referred, introduced, arranged or coordinated through LL&Co., LL&Co. rules still apply while you are there. That includes extensions paid directly to you.

Before the booking

Pre-booking checks

Every booking goes through LL&Co. first. We run the checks, we hold the client information, and we know where you are meant to be. That is your safety net. Use it.

Before a booking is confirmed, these are checked and recorded:

  • Client details. Name, address, contact number, and client ID where required.
  • Venue type. Private home, hotel, party bus, licensed venue, or workshop. Each carries different risks.
  • Guest numbers. How many people, and who the night is for.
  • Adult only, no minors. Confirmed before every booking. If a minor is present, the booking does not proceed.
  • Service, outfit level and any extras (lap dances or shows). Agreed in writing, in advance.
  • Payment. Amount, method (cash, EFTPOS or bank transfer), and confirmation it is paid upfront.
  • Alcohol and drug indicators. Anything the client has said that points to heavy intoxication or drug use.
  • Solo or two worker decision. Based on group size, venue and risk. You can always request a second worker.

The outcome: green, amber or red

Every booking gets rated by the agency before handover to you is completed.

GREENEverything checks out. Booking proceeds as normal.
AMBERSomething is unclear or unusual. LL&Co. clarifies with the client before you go, or adds a control such as a second worker.
REDBooking does not proceed until it is resolved, or it is declined outright. No exceptions, no pressure.

Golden rule for your first few

New girls should be working alongside experienced girls for their first 5 to 10 bookings. It is the safest way to learn the ropes, and it means you are never walking into something new on your own.

If you are unsure whether you are ready to work solo, speak with the agency. There is no rush and no pressure. We would always rather you took a few more bookings alongside someone experienced.

Getting there and home

Your transport, your control

How you travel is one of the biggest safety decisions you make on any job. Travel and isolation are the two risks that bite hardest on private and regional bookings. Keep it in your hands, always.

  • Never get in a client's car. Use your own transport, a taxi, or a rideshare.
  • Never let a client book or pay for your accommodation. Accommodation is arranged independently, by you or through LL&Co., never by the client and never at the client's address.
  • Plan your parking or pickup point before you arrive. Somewhere lit, close, and easy to leave from. Reverse in if you can.
  • Always have a backup. Rideshare or taxi app loaded, phone charged, and enough credit to get home without needing anything from anyone at the booking.
  • Regional and overnight bookings need approval. These are arranged through LL&Co. in advance, with travel and accommodation locked in before you leave.
  • Never stay after the booking is done. When the time is up, you leave. No lingering, no after party.

Check-ins

Check in when you arrive. Check out when you leave. A quick message either side of the booking is what makes the safety net real.

If you miss a check-in, we act. LL&Co. will call you, then call your emergency contact, then escalate to police if we cannot reach you. That is not us being dramatic, that is the system working.

Quick check: If you could not leave right now, on your own, without needing anything from the client, something is wrong. Always keep your own way out.

On the job

Stay sharp, stay in control

You are working. A relaxed, fun energy is part of the job, but being in control of yourself is what keeps you safe and keeps your reputation solid.

Drinks and drugs

You are not required or expected to drink while working. The professional standard is to stay sober, alert and able to leave.

If you choose to drink, you must never become impaired. Never drink and drive, and only accept drinks you opened, poured, or watched being poured.

Never accept an open drink you did not watch being made. Not from a client, not from anyone.

No drugs. Full stop. Do not use them and do not accept them, ever, at any booking.

Keep track of time

Set a timer on your phone the moment the booking starts. It keeps you in charge of the clock instead of the client, and it means you leave exactly when the booking ends.

Your call, always

Your boundaries are yours

You decide what you are comfortable with, before and during every booking. That never changes, and no one gets to talk you out of it.

  • You can change your mind at any time. Agreeing to something earlier does not lock you into it. You can withdraw consent at any point, for any reason, including mid-booking and mid-show.
  • No touching, beyond friendly. The default is hands off. The only exception is friendly, non-sexual contact, anywhere you would happily touch your nan, an arm or a shoulder. Everywhere else is off limits.
  • No intimate touching, ever. No client touches you between your legs or anywhere intimate, at any point, in any service.
  • No photos or video unless you have agreed. If you allow them, you set the poses and the limits. Clients do not control filming.
  • Saying no is always allowed. You never owe anyone a yes.

If a boundary is crossed

  1. Stop. End what you are doing straight away.
  2. Move away. Put distance between you and the person. Get to the other girls if you are not alone.
  3. Notify LL&Co. Message or call. Do not wait until the booking is over.
  4. Leave, or call 000 if you are unsafe. You do not need permission, and you do not need to finish the booking.

Working alongside other girls

On a lot of bookings you will work with one or two other girls. Respect each other's boundaries as much as your own.

Different boundaries are not a problem. Pressuring someone is. No one pressures, mocks, guilts or undercuts another worker's safety limits, and no one gets treated badly for holding a line or for reporting something. Have a quick chat before you go in so you are on the same page, and back each other up on the night.

Payment safety

Get paid the right way

Handling money cleanly protects you from awkward situations and from clients who try it on. Keep it simple and keep it upfront.

  • Paid upfront, before you undress. The client pays for the agreed service before anything starts. No exceptions.
  • Confirm the money has actually landed. Cash in your hand, or the payment showing in your account. A screenshot of a transfer is not proof of payment, and pending transfers can be reversed.
  • If a client will not pay upfront, you do not start. Message LL&Co. straight away and we will sort it.
  • No unpaid extensions. Ever. If the booking runs on, it is paid upfront, at your rate, before the extra time starts.
  • Never chase a difficult payment alone. Step back and contact us.

Your time is a commodity

Giving away unpaid time devalues you and every girl who comes after you. It teaches clients that the clock is negotiable, and it creates unfair expectations for the next contractor who works for them. Hold your rate. It is not rude, it is the standard.

Freelancer first, but not rule free

You keep 100% of your extensions. LL&Co. takes no commission from extension money, and you are free to hand out your own card.

No commission does not mean no standards. Where the booking was sourced through LL&Co., LL&Co. rules continue to apply, including on extras and extensions paid directly to you. Independence does not mean going in blind.

If you leave early for safety reasons

You keep the money. If you end a booking because it was unsafe, the fee is yours. You do not refund it, you do not negotiate it at the door, and you do not hand cash back to someone you are trying to get away from.

Never weigh the money against your safety. That is the whole reason this rule exists. If leaving cost you the fee, you would talk yourself into staying, and that is exactly what we do not want.

Anything about the booking or the money is sorted with us the next day. Not with the client, and not on the night.

The job itself

What you actually do at a private

Underneath the nerves, the job is genuinely fun. You are there to lift the energy and give the group a great night. Here is the core of it:

  • Serve drinks and food
  • Tidy up if needed
  • Be friendly, flirty, funny, and easy to be around
  • Mingle with everyone, especially the guest of honour (the bucks, the birthday boy, whoever the night is for)
  • Run and play party games
  • Offer shows or lap dances if you want to (completely optional, covered next)

Serving alcohol

Do not sell or supply alcohol unless the venue, licence and RSA requirements allow it. At a private home you are generally serving drinks the client has already provided, which is fine. At a licensed venue, licensing rules apply and you follow them.

Service stays within the agreed package and the venue rules. If a client asks for something outside the booking, it comes back to LL&Co. first.

Confidence comes with practice. Your first one or two might feel big, that is normal. Lean on the other girls, keep it light, and remember the group already wants a good time. You are the reason they get one.

Extras, on your terms

Shows and extras, safety first

Shows and lap dances are optional add-ons you can offer to earn more on a booking. They are never required.

Read this before you worry about shows

Most clients will happily book you without any shows at all. Do not let shows scare you off private bookings. You will never be pressured to do a single one, and you can build a great income without them.

Training and competency

Get trained and approved before offering a show. Training may include shadowing an experienced contractor, direct instruction, a written procedure, and a competency sign-off.

Online videos alone are not competency. Watching something on YouTube is not the same as being trained, and it will not protect you if something goes wrong. Ask us and we will arrange it properly.

The non-negotiable rules

  • The client watches. The client does not touch. During any show, no client touches you between your legs or anywhere intimate. That rule holds no matter what is offered or what is paid.
  • Hygiene is a procedure, not a vibe. Clean equipment every time, single-person items where relevant, a proper disinfectant process, hand hygiene, barriers or PPE where required, and safe storage and disposal. No shared unclean equipment, ever. If the hygiene controls are not available, you stop.
  • Set your own minimum price. Talk to other girls about what they charge so you do not sell yourself short.

Fire and flame effects: prohibited unless approved

Fire and flame effects are prohibited unless separately approved in writing under a high-risk procedure.

That approval requires venue permission, fire controls on hand, an emergency plan, confirmed competency, and insurance confirmation.

Training on its own is not enough. Do not improvise with fire, at any booking, for any client, at any price.

The hard line on extras

Prohibited and high-risk activities

This list exists so that no one can talk you into an off-menu escalation on the night. If it is not in the booking, it is not happening.

Never. No approval exists for these.

These are not negotiable, not for any client, any price, or any amount of pleading. There is no version of a booking where these become acceptable.

  • Choking, breath restriction, or anything affecting airways. Strangulation can kill hours later, and it is a criminal offence in WA.
  • Restraints of any kind on you. You must always be able to leave. Anything that stops you leaving defeats every other rule in this guide.
  • Weapons of any kind.
  • Sharps, needles, blades, or anything that breaks skin. Blood exposure risk.
  • Drugs in any form, including body shots and lines off your body. Body shots put a client's mouth on you and put you at the scene of a drug offence.
  • Client-controlled filming or recording. Once footage is out of your hands, it is out forever.
  • Any service not listed in the agreed booking.

Approval required. Ask before you agree.

Not banned, but not something you agree to on the night. These need a conversation with LL&Co. and written approval first.

  • Fire and flame effects. Prohibited unless separately approved in writing under the high-risk procedure, as covered in the previous section.
  • Hot or candle wax on skin as sensation play. This is a burn hazard and a different thing entirely to waxing the buck. Approval only.
  • Props the client supplies on the night. You have not checked it, you do not know where it has been, and you cannot vouch for it. Your own props, used in a show you are trained for, are fine.

If a client asks for something off the never list

The answer is no, and you do not have to negotiate it. Tell them the booking covers what was agreed, and anything else goes through LL&Co. Then message us. If the client keeps pushing, that is a red flag and you are free to leave.

A note on the classic

Waxing the buck

Waxing the buck is a standard bucks party gag and it is absolutely fine to offer. It is not on the prohibited list. It does need doing properly, because it is the one bit of the job where you are applying something hot to someone else's body.

  • Test the temperature on your own wrist first. Every time, not just the first strip.
  • Not on broken, sunburnt or irritated skin.
  • Not on genitals. Chest, back, legs and arms only.
  • Not on someone too drunk to sit still or to properly agree to it. If he cannot hold a conversation, he cannot consent to being waxed.

The one that actually matters

If the buck is being held down by his mates, you do not do it.

It stops being a party game the moment he is not a willing participant, and you do not want to be the one holding the strip when it does.

Hand it to his mates and let them wear it, or move on to something else. There is always another game.

The tiers, so you know what people ask for

You do not need to offer any of these. You just need to recognise them so nothing takes you by surprise, and so you can decide in advance what is a yes and what is a no for you.

Striptease and lap dances. The most common extra. Can be sold on their own or as a package. If you have not danced before, get trained by an experienced contractor first. It is fine to tell a client you are new and willing to give it a go.

Oil or cream shows. A more involved performance that requires training and sign-off beforehand, and generally involves full nudity. Some versions include a flame element, which is prohibited unless approved in writing under the high-risk procedure.

Toy shows. The most explicit tier, and entirely optional. If you choose to offer them, get trained first and follow the hygiene procedure without shortcuts. The touching rule applies without exception: the client watches, the client does not touch.

The bottom line: offer only what you feel good about, get trained and approved before you try anything new, and know that you are fully supported in every choice, including the choice to say no.

Trust your gut

Red flags and when to leave

Your instincts are a safety tool. If something feels off, it usually is. But not every red flag means walking out, so this splits into two lists: things you manage on the night and report afterwards, and things you leave for.

Manage it, and tell us afterwards

Common, annoying, and not on their own a reason to end a booking. Handle them, finish the job, and report them so we know who we are dealing with next time.

  • Clients using drugs around you. It happens at a lot of bookings. It is their business, not yours. Do not join in, do not hold anything for anyone, and keep your distance from it. Report it afterwards.
  • A drink you did not watch being poured. Do not drink it. Put it down, pour yourself a fresh one, and carry on. This is a normal thing to deal with, not a reason to leave.
  • Mild sleaze, bad jokes, or someone chancing their arm. Shut it down, hold your line, and keep the night moving.
  • Haggling or a bit of pressure about extras. The answer is no and the price is the price. Annoying, not dangerous.

Leave now

These are different. If any of these are happening, you go, and you will never be questioned for it.

  • Threats, intimidation or aggression. Raised voices aimed at you, standing over you, punching walls, or violence toward anyone.
  • You feel affected in a way you cannot explain. Dizzy, confused, drowsy, or drunker than you should be. Get out, get to a safe place, tell someone, and get medical help. Do not wait to see if it passes.
  • Drugs being pushed on you. Not clients using around you, but anyone trying to get you to take something, or slipping it into a drink.
  • Blocking exits or isolating you. Standing in doorways, steering you into another room, separating you from the other girls.
  • Sustained sexual harassment after you have said no. Not one bad joke. Someone who will not stop.
  • Repeated boundary pushing. You have held the line more than once and they keep coming back at it.
  • Filming after you have said no. Phones still out, or recording without your consent.
  • Far more people than agreed, or a setup that does not match the booking at all.
  • Refusing to pay once the booking has started.
  • Stalking behaviour. Following you, turning up, or contacting you outside the booking.

You are allowed to leave

If a booking is unsafe, you go. You do not owe an explanation, a refund conversation, or a polite exit. Get yourself out, then message LL&Co. We will always back you leaving a situation that was genuinely unsafe, and you will never be penalised for it.

You keep the money. A safety exit does not cost you the fee. Never stay in a bad room because you are worried about the cash.

Every early exit gets written up. Not to catch you out, but because an unsafe client needs to go on the block register, and that only works if we know what happened. Message us that night, and we will take the details the next day.

We have your back

If something goes wrong

You are never on your own out there. LL&Co. is your single point of contact, and reaching out is always the right move, before, during, or after a booking.

Call 000 first if there is

  • Immediate danger, or you cannot safely leave
  • Assault of any kind
  • Fire
  • A medical emergency
  • A suspected overdose, or a drink spiking concern

Call 000 first, then LL&Co. Your safety comes before the booking, the money, or anything else. Get safe, then let us know.

Who to contact

Leyla, LL&Co. emergency lead 0401 401 196

Email leyla@leylalewis.com.au

The emergency lead manages the response. That means you make one call, and we handle the rest: the client, the venue, your ride, and whatever follows.

Reporting

Tell us, and we record it

Telling us is good. Recording it is what actually keeps the next girl safe and keeps bad clients off the books. Report it even if you handled it fine, and even if nothing ended up happening.

  • Incident report. Anything that went wrong on a booking.
  • Near miss report. Something that almost went wrong. These matter just as much.
  • Unsafe client report. A client who pushed, pressured, or made you uneasy.
  • Harassment or assault report. Always taken seriously, and always your call on what happens next.
  • Missed check-in report. Logged whenever the check-in process is triggered.

Clients who cross the line go on the block register. We keep records of incidents and reviews so the same client cannot quietly book another girl next month. That register only exists because girls report.

Submit a report

Afterwards

Welfare and support

A bad booking does not end when you get home. We offer a debrief and a welfare check after any unsafe booking, assault or harassment, drink spiking concern, near miss, or early exit. You do not have to take it, but it is always there.

Support options

1800RESPECT 1800 737 732, 24 hours, sexual assault and family or domestic violence counselling

Lifeline 13 11 14, 24 hours, crisis support

Medical See a doctor after any assault, spiking concern, or injury. We will help you arrange it.

Counselling Ask us and we will point you to the right service.

There is no penalty, no awkwardness, and no black mark for needing support after a hard night. Looking after yourself afterwards is part of doing this work well, not a sign you cannot handle it.

Wrapping up

After the booking

  • Leave when the time is up. The booking ends, you head off. Clean and simple.
  • Check out with LL&Co. A quick message to say you are done and heading home closes the loop on your safety net.
  • Keep your own records. As a freelancer, your client relationships are yours to build. Track your regulars and your own bookings your way.
  • Report anything worth reporting. Good client or bad, tell us. It shapes who we book and who we do not.

Keep this handy

Quick safety checklist

The whole guide, boiled down to what matters most.

Always stay safe. Offer only what feels right. And know this: every choice you make on the job is fully supported by us. You are never in it alone.
