Registered midwives have the chance to work in all areas of midwifery through various models of care including continuity of care models, birth centre, high risk maternity, aboriginal infant and maternal health and the newborn intensive care unit.

The Hospital has a very high standard of midwifery care and provides undergraduate and postgraduate midwifery education programs and offers staff the opportunity to further their education and access professional development as well as the support of nursing / midwifery education support staff.

Registered nurses also have access to a new graduate program to develop skills in newborn care, the high risk dependency unit, gynaecology, gynaeoncology and the operating theatres.

In addition, the Hospital offers 18 post graduates each year to undertake a 12-month student midwifery program, as well as a Bachelor of Midwifery program. Students are offered placement at the Hospital upon completion.
