Achieve Something Great

Join an innovative midwifery service that is transforming outcomes for women, babies and families across South Western Sydney. As a Clinical Midwifery Specialist (Grade 2) in the Equity Midwifery Group Practice, you'll provide expert, relationship-based care for women experiencing vulnerability and complex social, health and psychosocial challenges.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll coordinate care, build trusted connections, and help remove barriers to health services. You'll also provide clinical leadership, mentor and support midwives, contribute to service improvement initiatives, and champion evidence-based practice to ensure the delivery of high-quality, woman-centred care.

This role combines advanced clinical expertise with leadership, advocacy and collaboration. Your work will directly contribute to healthier pregnancies, stronger families and more equitable health outcomes, while helping to shape the future of maternity services across our region.

Make a lasting impact where it matters most, supporting women and families, strengthening the workforce, and helping create healthier communities for generations to come.

Are You the Right Fit?

We're looking for an experienced and compassionate midwife who is passionate about improving outcomes for women, babies and families experiencing vulnerability and disadvantage. This role is ideally suited to a clinician with experience working within a Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) or continuity of care model, who understands the value of building trusted relationships and supporting women throughout their maternity journey.

To succeed in this role, you'll bring advanced clinical midwifery expertise, sound judgement and a commitment to evidence-based, woman-centred care. You'll be confident managing complex clinical and psychosocial presentations, working autonomously, and collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams, community services and partner organisations to deliver coordinated, holistic care.

You'll also be a capable leader who enjoys mentoring and supporting colleagues, sharing expertise, contributing to workforce development, and promoting a culture of learning, quality and continuous improvement. Strong communication, organisation and relationship-building skills are essential, along with the ability to advocate for women and families, navigate complex situations, and build effective partnerships across health and community sectors.

Most importantly, you'll demonstrate resilience, compassion, cultural responsiveness and a strong commitment to health equity. If you're passionate about continuity of care, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want to play a key role in improving outcomes for women, babies and families, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
