What is an Endorsed Midwife?
An Endorsed Midwife is a registered midwife who has obtained additional qualifications and approval to provide an extended scope of practice.
To become an Endorsed Midwife a midwife must refine their expertise through advanced training, demonstrating exceptional clinical proficiency, and securing formal endorsement from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia - NMBA.
This prestigious credential elevates their practice, granting them the autonomy to prescribe medications (Schedule 2, 3, 4 & 8 medicines), order diagnostic tests, ultrasounds and deliver bespoke maternity care.
An Endorsed Midwife is also able to provide subsidised services with attractive medicare rebates.
Whether curating a private practice or collaborating with esteemed obstetricians, an endorsed midwife embodies the pinnacle of independent, refined, and comprehensive maternal care.
