Current demand

Current demand in Sydney.

Midwifery is in consistent demand across Sydney’s public and private hospitals.
Both acute labour ward and postnatal positions are placed regularly. Get in touch and we will give you an honest picture of what is currently available.

One important note for midwives: AHPRA registers midwives separately from nurses. If you hold dual registration with the NMC, you will need to apply for both in Australia. We can provide guidance through this as part of the same process — it is simply two registrations rather than one. Get in touch and we will walk you through it.
