Registered midwife FAQs

You’ll need a minimum of 12 months paid experience as a registered midwife and current AHPRA registration. You’ll also be asked to provide two clinical referees who can confirm your recent midwifery practice, along with full vaccination compliance. Current CPR and relevant emergency midwifery competencies are also required. For SCN and NICU roles you will need to be an RN.

You can expect competitive specialty pay rates, including applicable penalty rates (nights, weekends), location, and shift type. Facility demand also plays a role, along with your level of clinical experience and any specialist skills (e.g. NICU or SCN). Pay rates are confirmed before you accept a shift or contract. You’ll be paid weekly once timesheets are submitted and approved.
