The Registered Midwife provides safe, evidence-based care across the delivery suite, antenatal services and postnatal period. Responsibilities include assessing mothers and newborns, supporting normal births, identifying and escalating complications, assisting with emergency procedures, administering medications, maintaining clinical records and educating families. Candidates should hold current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia through AHPRA, have relevant midwifery experience, and demonstrate sound clinical judgement, communication and teamwork. Current immunisation evidence, professional referees, police and working-with-children checks may be required. The role demands flexibility for rotating shifts, including nights, weekends and public holidays, as well as a compassionate, culturally sensitive and safety-focused approach.

The company offers permanent, temporary, contract and casual opportunities across metropolitan, regional and remote locations.

For midwives, Healthcare Australia may provide access to opportunities in maternity units, delivery suites, antenatal clinics and postnatal wards across different Australian states and territories. Candidates generally benefit from assistance with compliance documentation, credentialing and matching their experience to suitable facilities. Employment conditions vary by assignment, with some roles offering shift penalties, accommodation, travel support or flexible scheduling.
Australia offers strong opportunities for registered midwives in public and private hospitals, rural and remote maternity services, community programs and agency work. Major cities provide diverse employment and multicultural communities, while regional areas may offer incentives, housing or travel assistance. Australian culture is generally relaxed, outdoors-oriented and multicultural, with high standards for workplace safety and professional conduct. Lifestyle options range from beaches and national parks to vibrant arts, dining and sporting scenes. Midwives usually need registration with AHPRA and a recognised qualification; internationally trained applicants must complete the relevant assessment and registration process. Appropriate work rights may include employer-sponsored visas, skilled visas, or temporary graduate and working arrangements where eligible. Relocating involves budgeting for housing, transport, health insurance and registration costs. Applicants should confirm visa eligibility, registration requirements and employment conditions before accepting an offer.
