What requirements do I need to achieve to study Midwifery?

 

If you are still at school, your careers adviser should be able to provide fact sheets and information on a career in midwifery and point you towards places of study and their entry requirements. They should also be able to help you gain a further understanding of the personal qualities, skills and values needed to become a midwife and begin a successful and rewarding career.

You can also visit the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) for each university's entry requirements - most universities will require you to have studied english, mathematics and at least one science subject as part of your higher school certificate.

Contact the Australian College of Midwives or the Nurses and Midwives Board in your state for more information.
