Be Daring in the Community

Where Pleasure, Safety & Community Come Together

For almost three decades, BeDaring The Adult Shop has been more than a retailer — we’ve been an active part of the local community. As a proudly family-owned business, our mission is to create safe, empowering spaces where adults can explore intimacy, confidence, and connection, responsibly.

From award-winning retail experiences to innovative sustainability initiatives and collaborations with incredible community organisations, BeDaring is committed to showing up for the people who make Queensland vibrant, diverse, and daring.

 

Awards & Industry Recognition

Celebrating Excellence From 2015 – 2025

For over a decade, BeDaring has been recognised by Australia’s two major adult industry bodies: the Australian Adult Industry Awards (AAIA) and the Australian Adult Industry Choice Awards (AAICA).

We are proud to have consistently won Best Online Retailer and Best Adult Store/Chain from 2015 through 2025. These awards reflect what matters most: your experience. Every store visit, online order, and conversation with our team shapes who we are and how we lead the industry.

 

Community Responsibility & Sustainability

A Safer, More Responsible Adult Industry

As a family-run company, we take our responsibility seriously — protecting minors, handling sensitive material, and promoting ethical practices. We are also proud to lead the industry in sustainability.

18+ Age Restricted Sales

We maintain a strict 18+ policy across all stores. Staff request proof of age from anyone who appears under 25, similar to alcohol service regulations, ensuring legal and ethical compliance. Anyone unable to provide valid ID will be asked to leave. Clear in-store signage reinforces this policy.

Ethical Disposal of Adult Material

To prevent accidental exposure of adult material to the public, we follow rigorous internal procedures:

• No adult DVDs, magazines, or catalogues are ever placed in public waste.
• All sensitive material is returned to our Head Office for secure shredding and certified annual destruction.
• Unsellable products are disposed of safely through internal processes.
• Window displays are designed to be tasteful and mindful of diverse audiences.

Recycling & Sustainability – Partnering with Recycle Smart

BeDaring is proud to be the first adult retail store in Australia to partner with Recycle Smart, giving customers the opportunity to recycle adult toys safely and sustainably. As an industry leader, we are setting the standard for responsible disposal in the adult industry while reducing environmental impact.

 

Our Community Partners

Collaborating to Uplift, Entertain, and Empower

BeDaring works with a growing network of community partners and creatives, supporting projects and organisations that make Queensland more inclusive and vibrant:

Our involvement goes beyond sponsorship — it’s about actively participating in, celebrating, and supporting the communities where we live and work.

 

More Than a Store, A Community Presence

At BeDaring, community impact is not a side project — it’s at the heart of who we are:

• Supporting creatives and local events
• Promoting safe and ethical adult exploration
• Advancing sustainability in the adult industry
• Partnering with organisations that enrich lives and celebrate diversity

We’re here for the curious, the confident, the shy, the learning, the celebrating, the exploring, and everyone in between. Because when the community thrives, we thrive.
