We take pride in fostering a welcoming and supportive team culture, particularly for direct-entry midwives, ensuring a strong foundation for professional growth and development. Our midwives benefit from excellent career progression opportunities, with access to ongoing education and training.
At Singleton Maternity, we are dedicated to promoting normal physiological birth, and our team of doctors shares our commitment to women's choice and advocacy.

Conveniently located with an easy commute via the Hunter Expressway and ample free parking, Singleton Maternity is the perfect place to take your midwifery career to the next level.
About the role:
As a midwife at Singleton Maternity, you will provide safe, compassionate, woman-centred care within the maternity service, ensuring that care is delivered in partnership with women and their families. You will take a leadership role in coordinating midwifery care, working collaboratively with Registered Nurses, Student Midwives and the multidisciplinary team. Acting as an advocate, you will support women and their families in making informed decisions regarding their maternity care.

Making appropriate referrals to support women’s needs upon discharge will be a key responsibility. This role allows you to work across the entire scope of midwifery practice, including antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care.
About you:
We are looking for passionate and dedicated midwives at all levels of their careers who are committed to providing high-quality, woman-centred care.
