Midwifery - Southern Cross University

Bringing care to life

Answer the call to guide mothers through one of life’s most profound moments. Whether it’s the first breath of a newborn or providing the reassuring touch that calms a mother’s fears, your role as a midwife is to nurture and support through these life-changing experiences.

The degree blends theory with hands-on practice giving you a comprehensive understanding of midwifery while undertaking supervised professional experience. You’ll learn to support women and babies through all stages of pregnancy and postpartum.

Registered midwives work in diverse settings, including hospitals, midwifery practices, and community health care in urban, rural, and remote areas.

Study at Southern Cross University and get ready to become the trusted support every mother deserves.

“My lecturers and tutors were not only really knowledgeable and inspiring, but they also work in clinical practice. So, I received a real wealth of knowledge.”
