All applicants must hold a recognised Bachelor's degree or graduate degree, along with a human biology related unit with an anatomy and physiology focus at tertiary level.

You'll undertake 800+ hours of supervised clinical practice, giving you valuable, hands-on experience. Students must be available to undertake clinical midwifery practice during and/or outside semester in healthcare facilities, with clinical practice blocks that can be several weeks in length, requiring availability for rotational night and weekend shifts.

This can be met either by having completed at least six years of primary and secondary education taught and assessed solely in English in an approved country (including at least two years between years 7 and 12), or by achieving a minimum IELTS score of 7.0/7.0 (or equivalent) taken within two years of the course commencement date.
