About the Role:

Lead with Compassion — Shape the Future of Maternity Care

At North Canberra Hospital’s Women and Children Division, we provide exceptional Maternity, Neonatal, and Gynaecology services to women and families across the ACT and surrounding regions. Our care spans antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal, neonatal, and domiciliary services — all delivered by a passionate, multidisciplinary team.

As a Registered Midwife Level 2, you’ll be more than a clinician — you’ll be a leader and mentor. You’ll provide expert, woman-centred care while supporting and guiding junior staff, coordinating team workflows, and ensuring safe, high-quality outcomes in a dynamic clinical environment.

With strong clinical knowledge, communication skills, and a commitment to excellence, you’ll collaborate across disciplines and help shape a culture of safety, respect, and continuous learning.

If you're ready to lead with purpose and make a lasting impact, we’d love to welcome you to our team.
