About the role
You will be an integral part of the multidisciplinary maternity team providing woman centred care that is focused on individual needs, expectations and aspirations to achieve optimal pregnancy outcomes for the woman and her family.

With a modern, state of the art Maternity Units, Western NSW Local Health District are seeking new graduate and experienced midwives to enhance their growing team.

Our single aim is to provide a service to build healthier rural people and thriving communities, and our midwives play a crucial role in achieving this goal.  You’ll have the opportunity to work with a broad range of people across varied socio-economic backgrounds and diverse ethnicities and experience a range of models of care. 

You will work in a modern facility supporting women and their pregnancies, where you can really make a difference to their lives. 

You will be developed professionally by our district’s Clinical Midwife Educator and Clinical Midwife Consultants, have access to online and face to face learning with the Australian College of Nursing and the opportunity to undertake our Clinical Leadership program. While at times it will be hard, others challenging, we can promise your work will always be rewarding and you will be well supported by a Clinical Midwife Specialist Team Leader in an inclusive, collaborative and supportive work environment. 

This truly is a role where you will broaden your scope, develop new skills and supercharge your career.
