About the Opportunity
As a valuable member of our multidisciplinary team, you will work alongside a Registered Midwife to provide culturally safe and supportive care to women and families, many of whom may be vulnerable.
By fostering trust, strengthening connections, and supporting efforts to Close the Gap in health outcomes, your contribution will have a lasting impact on the community.
A typical day may involve coordinating appointments with the Midwife, offering cultural support, arranging or participating in community events such as NAIDOC Week celebrations, and joining home visits with the Midwife to provide care during the antenatal and postnatal period.
You will be well-supported by a Registered Midwife, your Line Manager, and other healthcare professionals. You will receive a thorough orientation program, along with access to mandatory training through our professional development platform and additional face-to-face education to meet your needs.
