Bachelor of Science (Midwifery)

Curtin University

Midwives are an essential part of professional healthcare, working in settings such as healthcare clinics, hospitals, community practices, birthing centres and home settings. In this course, you will gain the comprehensive knowledge and skills required to practise midwifery. This course is suitable for school leavers and for mature-age students. This course is accredited by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council and approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Develop real-world experience before you graduate. Learn how work-integrated learning helps you build career skills and connect with industry early. You'll study topics across biological, physical, psychological and social sciences. You’ll develop clinical skills through supervised placements in maternity units, and follow individuals through their childbirth journey using the Continuity of Care Experience approach. (Note that during placements, you may be eligible for the Commonwealth Prac Payment.) Upon graduating, you can apply for registration as a midwife, with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Once registered, you’ll be qualified to work in antenatal clinics (including specialty clinics for adolescent, high-risk and diabetic women), labour and birth suites, postnatal wards, special-care nurseries, breastfeeding clinics, midwifery group practice and birth centres.
