The Master of Midwifery Studies offers registered midwives a pathway to broaden their scope beyond bedside care, and move into leadership, education, or specialist roles, such as primary care and research.
Today’s midwives are working in increasingly complex environments, with growing workload pressures and questions around long-term career sustainability in traditional clinical roles. Designed with these realities in mind, this program supports midwives who are balancing shift work or part-time employment, managing family or caring responsibilities, or working in regional, rural, or remote settings. It offers flexible online delivery, part-time study options, workplace-relevant assessments, and structured learning to reduce study burden and support work–life balance.
Whether your goal is to lead teams, educate the next generation, influence models of care, or transition into less shift-intensive roles, such as research pathways, the Master of Midwifery Studies supports career progression without stepping away from midwifery practice.
You will study modern theories that focus on providing woman-centred, primary midwifery care and cover a holistic view of midwifery. This includes social, emotional, and cultural factors. The courses also cover the factors that affect health and wellbeing.
