Bethany is a passionate social entrepreneur, disability advocate, and the visionary founder of Merry Go Round Toys, a purpose-driven business transforming how we think about play, sustainability, and community. With a deep commitment to environmental responsibility and social inclusion, Bethany launched the venture to address two pressing issues: the overwhelming waste created by the toy industry and the lack of accessible, inclusive opportunities for meaningful employment—particularly for people with disabilities.

Merry Go Round Toys operates at the intersection of circular economy principles and social good. Through a unique consignment model and tailored toy hire services for both families and corporate clients—including childcare centers, events, and workplaces—Bethany has created a scalable, impactful model that keeps high-quality toys in circulation and out of landfill. Her business also reinvests profits into charitable causes aligned with her values, such as affordable housing and mental health support.

As a disability-owned and led enterprise, Bethany brings lived experience and authenticity to her work. She is a tireless advocate for inclusive entrepreneurship and employment, ensuring that Merry Go Round Toys is not only environmentally conscious but also people-first. Her leadership demonstrates how business can be a powerful force for positive change, combining commercial success with deep social purpose.

Bethany’s work has been recognized for its innovation, community impact, and contribution to the growing movement of ethical, female-led businesses in Australia. She is frequently invited to speak on topics ranging from sustainable business models to inclusive hiring practices, and she continues to mentor other emerging entrepreneurs who are looking to create change in their own industries.

Through Merry Go Round Toys, Bethany is proving that with creativity, compassion, and courage, it's possible to build a business that truly gives back—to people, to the planet, and to future generations of children.
