Program Overview

Deakin University's Graduate Diploma of Midwifery is an 18-month program that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical understanding to become registered midwives. The program combines hands-on clinical practice with theoretical instruction, preparing graduates for a range of roles in the specialist field of midwifery. Graduates are eligible to apply for registration as Midwives with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA), and employment opportunities are high due to the current shortage of qualified professionals.
