About the course
This graduate certificate supports midwives who are working, or preparing to work, in rural maternity services and remote or very remote Australian communities. It focuses on adapting professional knowledge and clinical skills for low-resource environments where access to emergency care may be limited and practitioners may work solo or within small multidisciplinary teams. The course emphasises culturally safe, community-centred maternity care, including relevant legislation and policies for rural and remote practice.
Career outcome
Graduates are prepared for midwifery roles in rural and remote settings where they may be the only midwife on shift or in a community, working collaboratively with other health professionals. Employment opportunities include public health services and Aboriginal community controlled health services, supporting maternity care across remote clinics and small facilities. This graduate certificate strengthens capability for autonomous, context-aware practice in rural and remote midwifery.
