Healthcare Australia seeks qualified midwives for contract placements across Queensland. Applicants generally need an approved midwifery qualification, current AHPRA registration, relevant clinical experience, and up-to-date immunisations, mandatory checks and professional references. Experience in antenatal, postnatal, birthing-suite or rural and remote settings may be valuable. Candidates should be confident working independently, adaptable to different hospitals and maternity models, and committed to safe, respectful, woman-centred care. Contracts may involve rotating shifts, weekends and nights, with flexibility to relocate temporarily. Strong communication, teamwork, clinical documentation and compliance with hospital policies are expected. Travel readiness and the ability to commence on agreed dates are also important.
Healthcare Australia is a national healthcare workforce and staffing organisation that connects qualified professionals with hospitals, health services and aged-care providers. The company supports permanent, temporary and travel assignments across Australia, including nursing, midwifery and allied-health roles. Its recruitment teams typically assist candidates with registration guidance, compliance checks, placement coordination and contract administration. For travel clinicians, available support may include accommodation, travel arrangements or allowances, depending on the assignment and employment terms. Healthcare Australia works with metropolitan, regional and remote services, giving professionals opportunities to broaden their clinical experience while working in different communities. Contract conditions, pay, accommodation and benefits vary by role, facility and location, so candidates should confirm the full package directly with the recruiter before accepting an assignment.
Australia offers strong opportunities for registered midwives, especially in Queensland’s regional, remote and coastal hospitals. Major cities provide broader employment choices, while rural contracts may offer higher allowances, accommodation and travel support. Australian culture is generally informal, multicultural and community-minded, with a strong focus on workplace safety and professional standards. Lifestyle options range from tropical beaches and outdoor activities in Queensland to vibrant city living, national parks and quieter regional communities. Overseas midwives usually need an appropriate visa and registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), with the Nursing and Midwifery Board assessing qualifications and English-language requirements. Employer-sponsored, skilled and temporary work visas may be relevant. Before relocating, arrange registration, identity documents, health checks, insurance, housing and tax arrangements. Costs and rental availability vary considerably, particularly in popular coastal areas.
