Midwives are an essential part of professional healthcare, working in settings such as healthcare clinics, hospitals, community practices, birthing centres and home settings.

 

In this course, you will gain the comprehensive knowledge and skills required to practise midwifery.

 

Your studies will include topics across biological, physical, psychological and social sciences.

 

You’ll also complete supervised clinical placements in maternity units and follow individual women through their childbirth journey through the ‘continuity of care experience’ (CCE) approach.

 

Upon graduating, you’ll be eligible to apply for registration as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Following your registration, you’ll be qualified to work in metropolitan and rural healthcare settings such as antenatal clinics (including specialty clinics for adolescent, high-risk and diabetic women), labour and birth suites, postnatal wards, special-care nurseries, breastfeeding clinics, midwifery group practice and birth centres.
