Combine core subjects with practical experience unique to JCU in this 1.5 year part-time course. Undertake continuous placement in a facility of your choice in Australia. Benefit from first-hand experience working with midwives in your local birthing suites, community midwifery services, private practice midwifery, maternity wards and special care nurseries.

This will require you to follow women through attendance at antenatal appointments, labour, birth and the postnatal period throughout the course.

You will also undertake focussed studies of Indigenous health and midwifery practice in rural, remote and tropical northern settings.
