Designed as an educational pathway for registered nurses and paramedics, the Master of Midwifery (Graduate Entry) will enable you to gain a midwifery qualification in one year and work as a registered midwife in a variety of health care settings.
You will gain advanced knowledge, practical skills, and professional behaviours required to provide safe, evidence-informed, and culturally safe midwifery care to women, babies, and families across the childbearing continuum.
Throughout your course, you will develop a woman-centred and holistic approach to midwifery practice, underpinned by midwifery philosophies and primary health care principles, and grounded in inclusive, ethical, and safe care. This course emphasises cultural safety and health equity, preparing you to provide care that meets the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, as well as women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and other marginalised communities. You will also develop your communication and collaboration skills, effectively working within intraprofessional and interprofessional teams to optimise health outcomes for women and families.
With a strong focus on evidence-based practice, you will also develop advanced research skills to critically evaluate and apply contemporary evidence to clinical decision-making. Learn to use digital health tools, emerging technologies, and electronic systems to support safe, effective, and contemporary midwifery care. Additionally, the program ensures students meet national standards for the safe use of medicines, in alignment with the National Prescribing Service (NPS) MedicineWise Prescribing Competencies Framework and the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards.
If you are not a registered nurse or paramedic and wish to pursue a career in midwifery, the Bachelor of Midwifery is an ideal option for you.
