Rockhampton Hospital is the heart of maternity care in Central Queensland, welcoming around 1,400 new arrivals each year. As the region's main referral centre, our Level 4 maternity service offers a warm, supportive environment where families are cared for every step of the way - from antenatal check-ups to birth, recovery, and specialised newborn care. Our modern facilities, including a Birth Suite, maternity ward, and Special Care Nursery, are designed to support both routine and more complex journeys into parenthood.

We pride ourselves on a team-based approach, working closely with community partners to provide seamless care, while our Midwifery Group Practice ensures women experience personalised, continuous support throughout their pregnancy and beyond.

About the role:

• You are a Registered Midwife with current AHPRA registration and a valid practising certificate, bringing the confidence and capability to deliver safe, high-quality care across the maternity continuum.

• You communicate effectively and work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team, confidently delegating and supervising Enrolled Nurses and Assistants in Nursing while fostering a supportive team environment.
• You are motivated to grow and develop, applying evidence-based practice and continuous quality improvement principles while actively progressing your skills from novice through to advanced practice.
