Lead people. Shape culture. Deliver exceptional maternity care.
Full Time, Ongoing leadership opportunity
Lead one of Victoria's busiest and most diverse Birth Suites
Build a high-performing team where people feel supported, valued and inspired to thrive
“The best Birth Suites are built by leaders who understand that exceptional care starts with exceptional people.”
At Monash Women's, we're looking for an experienced Midwife Manager to lead our Birth Suite team at Dandenong Hospital. This is more than an operational leadership role—it's an opportunity to create an environment where midwives are supported to grow, work collaboratively and consistently deliver outstanding, woman-centred care.
Working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary leadership team, you'll foster a culture of trust, accountability and continuous improvement while ensuring the safe and effective delivery of maternity services in a dynamic, high-acuity environment.
About the Role
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you'll provide visible leadership across Birth Suite, balancing the demands of a busy maternity service with a genuine commitment to developing your team.
Your ability to build relationships, support staff through change and create a positive workplace culture will be just as important as your operational expertise.
In this role you will:
Lead, coach and develop a skilled and dedicated Birth Suite team.
Foster a respectful, inclusive and high-performing workplace culture.
Support staff wellbeing, professional development and future leadership capability.
Lead workforce planning, patient flow and daily operational coordination.
Partner with Obstetric, Neonatal, Anaesthetic and Allied Health teams to deliver exceptional care.
Drive quality improvement, innovation and evidence-based practice.
Lead change with confidence, ensuring staff feel informed, supported and engaged.
About Dandenong Hospital
Monash Women's at Dandenong Hospital provides maternity care to one of Melbourne's most culturally diverse and rapidly growing communities.
Birth Suite is a fast-paced, rewarding environment where skilled midwives care for women across the full spectrum of maternity complexity. Supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team, you'll have the opportunity to influence both clinical excellence and the culture that underpins it.
About You
You're an experienced midwifery leader who understands that exceptional maternity care begins with an engaged, supported and accountable team. You build trust through authenticity, consistency and clear communication, creating an environment where people feel valued, challenged and empowered to succeed.
You're approachable and compassionate, while having the confidence to make difficult decisions, navigate challenging conversations and address performance concerns with fairness and respect. You lead by example, maintain high clinical standards and inspire those around you to deliver safe, woman-centred care every day.
You'll bring:
Current registration with AHPRA as a Registered Midwife.
Demonstrated leadership experience within a Birth Suite and acute maternity environment, with recent clinical practice to support service delivery when required.
A proven ability to lead, motivate and develop high-performing teams.
Excellent communication, coaching and stakeholder engagement skills.
Experience leading quality improvement and service development initiatives.
A commitment to safe, evidence-based and woman-centred maternity care.
Why Monash Women's?
At Monash Women's, we believe our people are our greatest strength. That's why we're committed to creating an environment where our teams feel supported, valued and empowered to deliver exceptional care.
As Midwife Manager, you'll have the opportunity to influence the experience of both your staff and the women and families they care for—building a culture where collaboration, respect and clinical excellence go hand in hand.
If you're ready to lead with purpose, develop future midwifery leaders and make a lasting impact on one of Victoria's leading maternity services, we'd love to hear from you.
Join Monash Women's at Dandenong Hospital and help shape the future of maternity care—one team, one birth and one family at a time.
