Little Life Warriors is an award‑winning, growing private practice based in Bundaberg. We provide neuroaffirming, trauma‑informed play therapy and early intervention services that place relationships at the centre of everything we do.

We’re looking for someone who believes every child deserves to be understood before they’re expected to behave. Someone who values connection over compliance. Someone who wants to build a meaningful career while making a lasting difference for children and families.
