Neurodiverse Playhouse | Banyo & Spring Hill, Brisbane
What if Occupational Therapy looked different?
What if you could spend less time defending why play matters... and more time actually playing?
What if you worked somewhere that truly understood neurodiversity—not as something to be "fixed", but something to be celebrated?
What if your colleagues included Occupational Therapists, Exercise Physiologists, Paediatric Podiatrists, Art Therapists and Learning Integration Practitioners who genuinely collaborate because they all want the same thing...
Children who feel safe, understood and capable.
Welcome to Neurodiverse Playhouse.
We weren't built to be another therapy clinic.
We were created by a parent who couldn't find the kind of support her own child deserved.
Too many waiting rooms felt clinical.
Too many therapy sessions focused on compliance instead of connection.
Too many families were expected to fit into a system that wasn't designed for them.
So we built something different.
A place where therapy feels like play.
Where relationships come before programs.
Where clinicians are trusted to think creatively.
Where children are allowed to be exactly who they are.
We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who...
* Has a genuine passion for working with children and adolescents.
*Loves getting on the floor instead of sitting behind a desk.
*Understands that regulation comes before participation.
*Thinks outside the box.
*Enjoys collaborating with families, schools and other clinicians.
*Wants to continually learn and grow.
* Values neurodiversity-affirming practice.
Whether you've been practicing for two years or twenty, what matters most to us is your curiosity, kindness and willingness to see every child through a strengths-based lens.
Your caseload could include:
- Autism
- ADHD
- Developmental Coordination Disorder
- Hypermobility
- Emotional regulation
- Executive functioning
- Sensory processing differences
- School participation
- Fine and gross motor development
- Daily living skills
- Feeding
- Interoception
- Social participation
- Functional Capacity Assessments (if experienced)
Every intervention is individualised, play-based and meaningful.
You'll work alongside an incredible multidisciplinary team including:
- Occupational Therapists
- Accredited Exercise Physiologists
- Paediatric Podiatrists
- Art Therapists
- Learning Integration Practitioners
Our team doesn't work in silos.
We collaborate, brainstorm, celebrate wins together and support each other every day.
