program detail

Program Overview

Midwives provide critical care at one of the most important times in a woman’s life. This degree will provide you with the practical skills and knowledge needed to expertly provide that care.

You’ll do much of your learning in UniSA's unique clinician-led, on-campus simulated hospital and health services on campus, which are some of the most advanced in the state.

You’ll also embark on real-world, hands-on clinical placements under the supervision of registered midwives, following women during their unique pregnancy, birth and postnatal journeys.

Further study opportunities may include a Graduate Certificate in Perinatal Mental Health, Master of Midwifery, or Master of Health Services Management.

What you'll learn
You'll learn how to expertly provide midwifery care, along with the legal and ethical responsibilities of midwives. You'll also explore the political, socio-cultural, economic and technological influences on midwifery practice today.

There is a strong focus on theory and practical experience, so much of your learning is done in our clinician-led, simulated hospital environment. Here you'll have the opportunity to practice your skills through real-life scenarios and feel confident and prepared for clinical practice. This simulated hospital environment and community of women is the only one of its kind in South Australia.

You’ll embark on clinical placements across metro, regional and rural hospitals and health services, under the supervision of registered midwives. During these placements you’ll be actively involved in a minimum of 30 births, and in the pre- and post-birth care of at least 100 women. You'll also follow 15 women through their pregnancy and birth journeys through the Continuity of Care Experience (CoCE).

All midwifery students will need to complete clinical placements and Continuity of Care experiences in South Australia. They must be completed on a full-time basis, and shift work will be required over a seven-day roster. Due to the on-call nature of 'continuity of care', students may be required to carry these out over more than one study period.
