Midwife Jobs in Australia
Looking for a meaningful midwifery role in Australia? Whether you’re based locally or considering a move from overseas, HealthX connects registered midwives with permanent opportunities that match your skills, values, and lifestyle.
Why Midwives Are in Demand Across Australia
Australia’s hospitals, birthing centres, and community health providers are actively hiring experienced midwives. With maternity services under pressure and regional areas facing acute shortages, qualified midwives are in high demand, particularly those experienced in antenatal, labour and postnatal care.
HealthX helps midwives find:
