So what if the are legit remedial massage place which you can claim health insurance but the girls provide extra service too. In theory they should be able to operate.

Would that make them "sex services premises"?.
The primary definition of "massage parlour" in the dictionary is a place where you can pay someone to give you a massage
; doesn't have to be sexual.
I go to the shops for the massage. I thought the tug at the end was just part of the therapy, very remedial. LOL

On the supply side (Shops)
Many R&T shops have closed but they will quickly reopen.
There are very few overheads. You just lease any shop or apartment (and there will be plenty of empty and cheap shops for lease after the lockdown and landlords desperate to lease to anyone) then get a dodgy cheap handyman to put up a few partitions and you are ready for business.
Th licensed R&T shops and FS brothels will have a taken a big hit to earnings over the lockdown, but they have too much invested in the business to close forever and will return to business as soon as the ban is lifted.
They will probably have lots of opening promotions and specials to lure back customers.
A lot will also depend on whether they can get enough WLs/MLs to work at their shops. Which brings me to ...
On the supply side (WLS and MLs)
For as long as the ban on entry to Australia remains this will limit the number of new girls coming in to the industry from overseas.
Once the ban is lifted a huge amount of WLs/MLs will come here just as they always have done.
There is still a large number of MLs/WLs who have remained in the country and they will return to the industry keen to make up for lost earnings.
There will be a small amount of newbies from ABCs/Ks etc, and real genuine International students at real universities entering the industry for the first time. They will be pretty rare though.
Overall the supply of WLs and MLs will be down until the travel ban is removed.
On the Demand side (punters)
Most punters will return to punting.
There will be a few who will have been scared off forever and a few hesitant ones who want to wait and see, but eventually most punters will return.
Some punters will have less money due to unemployment or their businesses losing revenue.
But on the other hand some will be cashed up after many months of no punting, no gambling, no dining out, no travelling etc, And going to Thailand, HK, Philippines etc to punt is not an option so they have to punt locally.
Overall demand will be roughly the same or maybe slightly down.

So ...[/Q
So....not RnT....or did they forget to mention it in health act....I mean blue balls is a medical condition 🤪
My guess is that remedial/therapeutic means some kind of qualified training from a certified board of practitioners, and parlour is anyone who just sets up a shop. It is not exactly clean cut though, because you can get extras at legit shops from highly trained ML, and sometimes a ML from a parlor that popped up over night might have received proper certified training at one point. Its pretty murky.
A few years back, many councils had a requirement that anyone wanting DA approval for a massage shop had to have evidence of professional qualifications. Of course, that did not necessarily apply to the people actually working there.
Like in the past, boundaries will be stretched until a shop gets caught out. The police can be a bit more heavy handed than council inspectors.
Think surely the world's oldest profession will bounce back from this one just like every other catastrophe in history
