The Master of Midwifery (MMid)/Master of Midwifery with Honours (MMid Hons) Program prepares competent midwives who are able to meet the needs of childbearing women. The curriculum represents an entry to practice midwifery program and applies a primary health care model to prepare midwives for endorsement and practice. Core concepts relating to contemporary midwifery care and evidence based practice are incorporated into all on-campus and off-campus learning activities. The clinical components of the program involve placements in a variety of settings.
The MMid program is available to registered nurses with a degree in nursing or a related discipline.
The Midwifery Paid Clinical Placement Application Pack provides Program information, instructions for submitting your application, contract details and information about the hospitals involved in providing employment and clinical education.
