Dr India Bryce began her career as early childhood educator before taking a position as a front-line Child Safety Officer in the Investigation and Assessment Team, in the Queensland Department of Child Safety, Women and Youth.

India is also a practising Forensic social worker and appointed Family Consultant in the Family Court, specializing in providing assessments for child protection and family law.

India has published books, book chapters, and journal articles from her research, including two co-edited reference books, Child Abuse and Neglect: Forensic Issues in Evidence, Impact and Management, and Child Sexual Abuse: Forensic Issues in Evidence, Impact and Management. India has presented on topics related to her research nationally and internationally.
