About the course
The Graduate Diploma of Midwifery at Charles Darwin University is designed for registered nurses seeking to qualify as midwives in Australia. You will develop evidence-based, woman-centred midwifery practice skills, with a strong focus on communication, health promotion and contemporary models of care within a primary health care approach. The course includes mandatory simulation and substantial supervised clinical placement to prepare graduates for professional midwifery practice.
Career outcome
Graduates can work across public and private maternity care services in Australia and may pursue roles supporting pregnancy, birth and postnatal care in hospital and community settings. Potential pathways include working as a clinical midwife in maternity hospitals, progressing toward privately practising midwife roles (where eligible), or moving into education and leadership positions such as midwifery educator or midwifery manager. Outcomes align with Graduate Diploma-level preparation in nursing and midwifery.
