About the Role:

Join a team where care, leadership, and innovation come together to shape exceptional maternity services. Centenary Hospital for Women and Children (CHWC), a leading Level 6 tertiary centre, is inviting passionate and experienced Registered Midwives Level 2 to bring their expertise and clinical leadership to our antenatal and gynaecology services.

At CHWC, you will be part of a highly respected service supporting approximately 3,800 women each year across the ACT and surrounding regions. Our hospital offers comprehensive antenatal, birthing, and postnatal care through a range of progressive models designed to place women and families at the centre of everything we do. Here, we are deeply committed to recognising each woman’s unique journey by supporting her choices, respecting her autonomy, and meeting her social, emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual, and cultural needs.

Working within our dynamic maternity department, you will join a forward-thinking team that embraces innovation and modern approaches to contemporary midwifery challenges. Our service proudly delivers care through midwifery-led continuity models, midwifery-led care, and collaborative maternity team care, ensuring flexibility and excellence in outcomes for every woman and family we support.

As the tertiary referral centre for the ACT and Southern NSW, CHWC offers exposure to a wide scope of practice supported by advanced neonatal services, including a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Special Care Nursery (SCN), and the ACT Neonatal Emergency Transport Service (NETS). This environment provides a unique opportunity to develop and lead within a highly specialised and supportive clinical setting.

Reporting to the Clinical Midwifery Manager, you will play a pivotal leadership role, guiding and supporting colleagues to achieve excellence in clinical practice, quality, and safety. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams and consumers of maternity services, fostering collaboration and delivering high standards of care. Through your leadership, you will inspire a culture that reflects CHS values, promotes professional growth, and strengthens our vision of outstanding, woman-centred care.
