Help children discover what their bodies can do.

At Neurodiverse Playhouse, we don't count reps—we celebrate milestones.

Whether it's a child taking their first confident jump, learning to balance on one foot, regulating their emotions through movement, or discovering they can finally keep up with their friends at the playground, these are the moments that make our work meaningful.

We're looking for an Accredited Exercise Physiologist to join our growing team in Banyo, working with children and adolescents in a truly unique allied health environment.

If you're passionate about paediatrics, love thinking outside the box, and believe therapy should be engaging, playful and child-led, we'd love to meet you.

Why Join Neurodiverse Playhouse?

We're a multidisciplinary team dedicated to helping neurodivergent children build confidence, independence and lifelong movement skills through evidence-informed, neuroaffirming care.
