Southern Health and the Graduate Midwife Program would like to invite you to an information evening to discuss all aspects of the Graduate Midwife Program for 2013. Please click here for more information

If you are a graduate midwife from direct entry, double degree or post-graduate studies, our program is the perfect way to launch your new career.

The program commences in February. A second, smaller intake may be organised mid year depending on available vacancies.

The graduate midwife program at Southern Health offers placements at one of three sites conducting maternity services:

Whether you are a post graduate midwife who wants a structured program, or a Bachelor of Midwifery graduate who has not had much high risk experience, we can support you through your first year as a midwife with:

  • Combined nursing/midwifery graduate year available for double degree graduates with placements in newborn services or medical/surgical area
  • Four rotations for added consolidation
  • Full or part time employment.

From a solid and stable base, graduates move confidently into ongoing and more advanced midwifery practice. Southern Health offers a variety of services within maternity care, from tertiary level to low-risk midwifery led models, so the opportunities to learn are extensive.
