Dating in the Dark Australia premiered on the Fox8 subscription television on 1 December 2010.
The show's format is based on a Dutch dating show called Daten in het Donker (English: "Dating in the Dark").
The series is hosted by Laura Dundovic.
They only come into contact with the opposite sex in a dark room, with high definition night vision cameras capturing their meetings.
The contestants are encouraged to touch each other to see if they like the physical body of the person they may go on a romantic date with.
