Our Master of Midwifery is the only postgraduate midwifery course in Australia that does not require you to have a nursing qualification to enter. It also offers Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) to domestic applicants, which means part of your course fees are subsidised by the Australian Government.
Midwives are registered health professionals trained to support and care for women during pregnancy, labour and birth. They work in clinics, hospitals, community practices, birthing centres or in the home.
The Master of Midwifery can be studied over two years full-time or four-years part-time. Course content blends evidence-based theory with more than 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice and covers physical, biological, psychological and social sciences.
You’ll learn to work as a professional midwife in real settings, using your midwifery skills over the whole childbirth continuum. As part of your learning, you will recruit and follow 30 women; you will conduct their antenatal appointments, advise and educate these women and their support person, and be on call to help them through their labour and birth, and provide postnatal support.
You will also complete:
Throughout the course you’ll develop your cultural awareness and your communication and leadership skills, giving you the confidence to work in interprofessional healthcare teams, establish relationships with women and their families, and gain an understanding of the midwifery profession.
You’ll become knowledgeable on topics such as reproductive health and nutrition, mental health and breastfeeding, and will be able to provide families with the evidence they need to make informed choices.
When you graduate, you’ll be eligible to apply for registration as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
