La Trobe University

Master of Midwifery Practice

Advance your midwifery career, entirely online. Midwifery needs emerging leaders who can advocate for quality maternity care for women, families and the healthcare workforce. For healthcare workers who want to make a difference, La Trobe offers the opportunity for real change, both in your field and in your career. Developed through consultation with key industry partners and informed by the world's largest trial in midwifery-led care and our subsequent research projects, we've designed our course so you can specialise in the area you're most passionate about. Depending on your specialisation, you'll choose from three pathways, medication endorsement, project pathway or research pathway. Only with successful completion of the medication endorsement pathway can you assume responsibility as an autonomous prescriber within the Australian healthcare system (pending ANMAC approval). If you pursue the project or research pathway, you'll be ready for roles in management, leadership or education. La Trobe's Master of Midwifery Practice gives midwives the opportunity to move into a new phase of their professional lives.
