Course Overview
The Bachelor of Midwifery at JCU prepares you for a rewarding career supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. Available full-time over three years or part-time equivalent, this accredited degree combines essential theoretical knowledge with extensive hands-on clinical experience to ensure you graduate confident and job-ready. From your first year, you’ll engage in practical learning through clinical placements across metropolitan, regional and rural Queensland, experiencing a diverse range of maternity care settings. You’ll also develop your clinical skills in JCU’s simulation labs in Cairns and Townsville, building confidence before entering real-world environments.

These immersive experiences provide valuable insight into woman-centred care and may include engagement outside of standard hours. Students are registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) through AHPRA during their studies, and upon graduation, are eligible to apply for professional registration as a midwife*.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
