Overview

Through the Midwifery course from Adelaide University you'll gain real-world experience through clinical placements, actively participating in a minimum of 30 births across various settings in South Australia. Our unique Continuity of Care Experience (CoCE) offers you the chance to follow a minimum of 10 women and expectant parents through their pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journeys – providing a deep understanding of midwifery practice.

Learn in cutting-edge facilities, including an on-campus simulated hospital that mirrors real-world scenarios with birthing suites, a special care nursery and a postnatal area. Throughout your studies, you'll be guided by experienced clinicians and educators who are leaders in midwifery, ensuring you graduate with the expertise to make a meaningful impact.

Career opportunities:

As a midwife, you’ll lead the way in maternity care, providing women with expert guidance and reassurance throughout their pregnancies. During birth, you’ll play a hands-on role, actively ensuring the safety and wellbeing of both mother and baby. In the crucial days that follow, you’ll continue to support women and their families, helping them navigate the early stages of caring for their newborn.

As a midwife, you'll have opportunities to work in group practices, providing care to women within caseload models. You could offer family planning support, guide women through pregnancy and birth in a hospital setting, or assist with home births.
