Bachelor of Midwifery
This course will prepare students to gain the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours essential for contemporary midwifery practice. Grounded in a woman-centred philosophy, this course emphasises continuity of care, cultural safety, and collaborative practice across a diverse range of settings. Clinical learning is a key element of this course and students will be required to undertake 960 hours of clinical placement, engaging with at least ten women during their pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum care journey. This course also places a strong emphasis on developing effective communication and collaboration skills within intra- and interprofessional teams to facilitate safe and inclusive care. Students will be supported to use innovative information technologies and digital health tools, in accordance with professional frameworks, to enhance practice and ensure safe, quality medication management aligned with relevant national standards. If you are a registered nurse and wish to pursue a career in midwifery, the Master of Midwifery (Graduate Entry) is an ideal option for you.
