About the course
This Graduate Certificate in Midwifery Prescribing and Primary Care develops registered midwives’ capability to prescribe safely and extend primary maternity care practice. The nationally accredited course supports prescribing endorsement and strengthens evidence-based, culturally safe, woman-centred care across pregnancy to postnatal care in hospital and community settings. Delivered online, it is designed to fit around clinical work and build confidence for broader scope and leadership in midwifery.
Career outcome
Graduates can broaden their scope into advanced practice roles that integrate prescribing and primary care within maternity services. Opportunities include endorsed/advanced practice midwife roles in hospitals, community and private services, continuity-of-care coordination or group practice leadership, and primary care or women’s health settings. The qualification supports greater autonomy, stronger clinical decision-making, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams in midwifery-led models of care.
