Once advertising has been purchased, your advertising time cannot be paused. You can choose to hide your ad from public view at any time, but the advertising period will continue to run down in the background.
Refunds are at Lustia's discretion in line with Australian Consumer Law and are not issued for change of mind once advertising has been activated.
A few simple steps make a big difference:
- Complete every field in your profile
- Upload high-quality, well-lit photos
- Write a clear, appealing description of your services
- Keep your availability and rates current
- Respond to enquiries quickly
Bumping your ad regularly also keeps you near the top of search results.
Under new Australian online safety regulations effective 9 March 2026, public listings must not contain unblurred nudity. The following are not permitted:
- Visible genitals
- Exposed nipples
- Sexual activity
You can still upload suggestive imagery — just use our built-in blur tool to cover any explicit areas before saving.
When uploading or editing a photo, click the Edit button on the image. The photo editor opens with a blur brush you can paint over any areas that need to be covered.
Save the edited photo and it replaces the original on your listing automatically.
No. All photos must be of you. Stock images, AI-generated imagery, third-party photos, and photos of other people are not permitted.
We may request photo verification at any time. Listings using non-authentic imagery will be removed.
To maintain the integrity of the platform, we may ask you to submit a verification selfie — typically a photograph of you holding a handwritten sign with "Lustia" and the current date.
Verification photos are private, never displayed publicly, and viewed only by authorised Lustia staff.
Sex work is decriminalised in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, the Northern Territory, and the ACT. Advertisers operating in these jurisdictions may describe their lawful services in text within their listing.
Advertisers in jurisdictions where sex work is regulated or restricted (including SA, WA, and Tasmania) must ensure their advertisement complies with applicable state law.
Clients can contact you through the phone number on your listing, or through Lustia's in-platform messaging system if you've enabled it.
Lustia is an advertising directory only — we don't arrange bookings or take payments for services. All communication and arrangements are between you and the client directly.
Yes. You can block any client from messaging you, and you can report abusive, threatening, or inappropriate behaviour using the report tools in the messaging interface.
Lustia takes harassment seriously. Users who breach our conduct rules may be suspended or permanently banned.

When an account is closed, your verification images and most personal information are retained for 30 days, then permanently deleted unless legal retention obligations apply (such as financial records).
Go to My Account → Account Details to update your email address, password, or contact info.
Changes to your phone number on your listing are made on the Edit Ad page under My Ads.
Yes. Personal information is stored on secure servers, transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and accessible only to authorised staff. Verification photos are encrypted at rest.
For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
Public listings on Lustia are indexed by search engines so clients can find you. If you want a more discreet presence, you can use a display name rather than your real name on your profile.
We do not sell personal information. Information is shared only with trusted service providers (hosting, email, payments) and where legally required.
Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
