Registered Midwife

Narrabri

This role is accepting overseas candidates with AHPRA and ANMAC assessment for ANZSCO code 254111

About us:

At the Narrabri Maternity Unit, our dedicated team of Midwives works closely with the inpatient unit to provide comprehensive care to both maternity and general medical patients. While our unit primarily caters to low-risk maternity cases, Midwives are involved in a wide range of services, including antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care.

This role offers the chance to work autonomously, empowering Midwives to apply their clinical expertise and decision-making skills in a dynamic environment. However, you’ll never be without support. Our Midwives are backed by a collaborative team that includes the Maternity Unit Manager (MUM), Clinical Midwifery Educator (CME), and GP/Obstetrician.

In this role, strong clinical skills, effective time management, and excellent communication skills are essential. New team members will benefit from a comprehensive orientation program, and we are committed to fostering your professional growth with ongoing development opportunities and support.

Where you'll be working:

Narrabri is the vibrant administrative heart of one of Australia's most prosperous agricultural regions. Known for producing some of the world’s finest wheat, cotton, lamb, and beef, this thriving Shire is also home to leading research facilities, making it an agricultural powerhouse.

Beyond its rich farming heritage, Narrabri offers a stunning backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're keen on canoeing along peaceful waterways, camping under star-filled skies, or exploring the unique volcanic formations, this region provides endless opportunities for adventure and natural beauty.

About you:

You possess the ability to work autonomously and handle a wide variety of clinical situations with limited resources, often stepping into diverse roles to meet the needs of the community.

You have excellent decision-making skills to provide safe, evidence-based care in a setting where immediate access to specialist services may be limited.

You build strong relationships with patients and local healthcare teams, understanding the unique needs of a rural setting, and providing culturally sensitive care.
