Neuroaffirming | Child‐Led | Community‐Based | Flexible

At Wonder Kidz, we don't believe children need to fit into our programs—we create programs that fit around the child.

We're looking for an Occupational Therapist who shares our passion for supporting neurodiverse children and young people through a child‐led, strengths‐based, team-oriented, and naturalistic approach. This role offers the unique opportunity to deliver therapy where children learn best—in real‐life environments, meaningful relationships, and authentic community experiences.

Who We Are

n

Wonder Kidz is more than a service—it's a community built on our core values:

n

n
- Being – Supporting children to be authentically themselves without judgment or expectations.
n
- Belonging – Creating safe spaces where every child feels accepted, connected, and valued.
n
- Becoming – Empowering children to build confidence, independence, and meaningful life skills at their own pace.
n

n

We provide social programs, community access, camps, group programs, and therapeutic supports for neurodiverse children and young people across Melbourne.

n

n
- Supporting a child to develop emotional regulation while exploring the community
