Recipients of the Graduate Diploma in Midwifery are eligible to apply for registration as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. The application of evidence-based theory and practice enables graduates to practice midwifery in a variety of settings and in ways which meet contemporary society's demands for family-centred maternity care. Students are encouraged to engage in critical thinking, self-discovery, self-direction and lifelong learning. Midwifery practice usually involves shift work. Student midwives are required to engage in continuity of care experiences which are community-based and therefore travel, on-call and shift-work are expected.
