Where can Midwifery Take Me?

A midwifery qualification can open up a plethora of opportunities to those considering a career as a midwife. A midwifery degree allows midwives to practice in hospital, birthing centres, in the community and even as independent practitioners.

Registered nurses can also find their horizons expanded by a midwifery qualification. Many nursing positions (such as remote area nursing) require a midwifery degree as one of the job qualifications.

A degree in midwifery can take you across Australia and around the world.

Australian undergraduate midwifery degrees and postgraduate midwifery qualifications are recognised around the world. The shortage of midwives globally means that there are wonderful opportunities for Australian midwives to work overseas and to even gain permanent residency and citizenship in another country.
