If you've ever dreamed of combining your midwifery career with a true North Queensland adventure, this is your sign.

We're looking for an experienced and passionate Clinical Midwife – Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) to join our small, dedicated team in Weipa — a place where community, culture, and connection come together in one of Australia's most unique coastal towns.

🩺 About the role

The Midwifery Group Practice midwife will provide primary midwifery care for an allocated group of women (30-40 all-risk clients), in collaboration with other health care providers within the Midwifery Group Practice, at Weipa Integrated Health Service and the surrounding remote communities within a continuity of care model.
