The Royal Women’s Hospital is Australia’s first and most trusted tertiary hospital dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of women and newborns, offering specialised services within maternity, neonatal and women’s health. Our goal is to be the best place to work, learn and contribute, and to provide exceptional experiences for our patients and consumers. The Women’s is located in the heart of Melbourne’s world‑class Parkville Precinct, alongside the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Peter Mac Callum Cancer Centre and the Royal Children’s Hospital.

As a member of our team you’ll be supported to learn and grow in a warm and friendly environment that offers excellent professional opportunities, amazing camaraderie and a strong focus on providing outstanding care to women and babies. We are committed to using the social model of health to ensure we acknowledge, understand and respond to the individual needs of women.

This means our midwives are part of multidisciplinary teams that actively encourage the empowerment of women and their right to make informed decisions about their health.

Our maternity service is one of Australia’s largest with over 7,600 babies born last year at the Women’s. We provide a range of models of care to our women including team care, Midwives in Small Teams (MIST) and caseload midwifery in our COSMOS program. As a tertiary care provider, midwives also have opportunities to provide midwifery assessment, support and birthing care to women who are high risk and experiencing complex psycho‑social pregnancies.

Our model of care has a focus on midwives operating at their full scope of practice with an even greater emphasis on midwifery‑led care. As a midwife at The Women’s you will deliver high quality care to patients and families across both low risk and complex cases. This is an exciting opportunity to provide exceptional, evidence‑based, woman‑centred care.

As a permanent night duty team midwife within Maternity, you will work collaboratively with other team midwives, the multidisciplinary team, and the Midwifery Unit Managers. The role will allow you to work across the maternity continuum – birth centre, assessment centre, antenatal ward, and postnatal wards. The Safe Patient Care Act implementation will see a 1:4 patient ratio across all shifts, on both the postnatal and antenatal wards.

We’re seeking passionate and experienced AHPRA Registered Midwives to join the Women’s to work across the midwifery continuum in a permanent night duty role.

You will be someone with strong communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to build collaborative working relationships.

• Midwife Registration with AHPRA
• 1+ years relevant clinical Midwifery experience across the continuum of midwifery care
• Ability, or willingness, to work across the midwifery continuum (antenatal ward, postnatal ward, and birth centre) across all shifts on a rotating roster
• Demonstrated ability to plan and time manage
• Have a high level of responsibility and accountability
• A demonstrated commitment to family‑centred care and advocacy
• Prioritise collaborative care and communication within the multidisciplinary framework
• Experience in IVC insertion, applying Fetal Scalp Electrodes (FSE), performing ARMs and examination of the newborn (or willingness to perform)

We offer a range of rewarding benefits, including:

• $11,660 in salary packaging benefits, for living expenses, meals and holiday accommodation
• A suite of wellness initiatives designed to support you, including discounted financial, lifestyle and health options, and a comprehensive wellbeing program
• Support to grow your career, including education and training, scholarship and research opportunities
• Mentoring, learning and career development…
