University of South Australia
Bachelor of Midwifery
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationMidwives work at the forefront of pregnancy and reproductive care, working in partnership with women and pregnant people to provide expert care across the childbirth continuum. This degree will provide you with the practical skills and knowledge to provide expert and equitable family-focused healthcare that considers social, emotional, physical, psychological, cultural, and safety needs. Studying at our City East campus, you’ll do much of your learning in UniSA's clinician-led, on-campus simulated hospital and health service, the Horizon Hospital and Health Service (HHHS).
You’ll also embark on real-world, hands-on clinical placements under the supervision of registered midwives, and be actively involved in a minimum of 30 births across a variety of South Australian industry settings. Your Continuity of Care Experience (CoCE) will have you follow the unique antenatal, labour, birth, and postnatal journeys of 15 women and pregnant people, providing a valuable insight into the full scope of midwifery practice.
