Many experienced paediatric therapists want more autonomy, sustainable caseloads and time to deliver thoughtful therapy.
Play-Based Paediatrics offers an environment designed around those priorities. Play-Based Paediatrics provides paediatric occupational therapy services across Brisbane for children funded through the NDIS. Our therapists support children in the environments where they live, learn and play — homes, schools and community settings.
We intentionally maintain a small allied health team so clinicians receive strong professional support and families receive consistent, high-quality care. We are now looking for an experienced Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join the team and contribute to the continued development of our service. Why
This Role Is Different
- Small collaborative team

- Opportunity to help shape a growing service
Our Clinical Approach We focus on thoughtful, play-based therapy that supports children's participation in everyday life.

We prioritise quality of care, sustainable workloads and strong professional collaboration. The Role You will deliver paediatric occupational therapy using a play-based, family-centred and goal-focused approach.
The role includes:
- Mobile therapy across the Brisbane region
- Sessions in homes, schools and community settings
- Telehealth where appropriate
