About the Women’s:
The Royal Women’s Hospital is Australia’s first and most trusted tertiary hospital dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of women and newborns, offering specialised services within maternity, neonatal and women’s health. Our goal is to be the best place to work, learn and contribute, and to provide exceptional experiences for our patients and consumers. The Women’s is located in the heart of Melbourne’s world-class Parkville Precinct, alongside the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Royal Children’s Hospital.
Working at the Women’s:
As a member of our team you’ll be supported to learn and grow in a warm and friendly environment that offers excellent professional opportunities, amazing camaraderie and a strong focus on providing outstanding care to women and babies. We are committed to using the social model of health to ensure we acknowledge, understand and respond to the individual needs of women. This means our midwives are part of multidisciplinary teams that actively encourage the empowerment of women and their right to make informed decisions about their health.
About Maternity Services:
Our maternity service is one of Australia’s largest with over 7,600 babies born last year at the Women’s. We provide a range of models of care to our women including team care, Midwives in Small Teams (MIST) and caseload midwifery in our COSMOS program. As a tertiary care provider, midwives also have opportunities to provide midwifery assessment, support and birthing care to women who are high risk and experiencing complex psycho-social pregnancies.
About the role:
Our model of care has a focus on midwives operating at their full scope of practice with an even greater emphasis on midwifery-led care. As a midwife at The Women's you will deliver high quality care to patients and families across both low risk and complex cases. This is an exciting opportunity to provide exceptional, evidence-based, woman-centred care.
As team midwife within Maternity, you will work collaboratively with other team midwives, the multidisciplinary team, and the Midwifery Unit Managers. The role will allow you to work across the maternity continuum – birth centre, assessment centre, antenatal ward, and postnatal wards, as well as outpatient areas of antenatal clinic and postnatal care in the home.
As an exciting note, the Safe Patient Care Act implementation will see a 1:4 patient ratio across all shifts, including night duty, on both the postnatal and antenatal wards.
