About the role
About us
Rockhampton Hospital is the major referral hospital for Central Queensland, providing maternity care to women and families from Rockhampton and communities across the region, including women requiring more complex care.
A CSCF level 4 maternity service, the unit has 18 beds, five private birthing suites and a neonatal nursery to offer care across pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. The service includes Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) to support continuity of care and enable midwives to build strong, ongoing connections with women and families.
The maternity team also works closely with Gumma Gundoo, the local First Nations maternity service, to provide culturally appropriate care and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and families.
About the role
As a Clinical Midwife, you'll use your advanced midwifery skills and experience to provide culturally safe, woman-centred care through an all-risk antenatal service.
You'll support women throughout their pregnancy journey, working closely with multidisciplinary teams and maternity services across Rockhampton, Emerald and Biloela Hospitals. Intrapartum care will be provided by core maternity midwives, with the Clinical Midwife supporting antenatal care, pregnancy assessments, coordination and continuity of care to help achieve safe, positive outcomes for women, babies and families.
