NSW Health recognises the vital role midwives play in high-quality, safe maternity care. The Midwifery Professional Framework describes the professional practice of midwives to support all midwives to work to their optimum scope of practice across the continuum of care.
Register your interest below for updates on when the framework will be published.
The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) Essential Competencies for Midwifery Practice outline the minimum set of knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required by an individual to use the designation of midwife as defined by ICM when entering midwifery practice.
The competencies are presented in a framework of four categories that set out those considered to be essential and that represent those that should be expected outcomes of midwifery pre-service education.
These competency statements are linked to authoritative clinical practice guidance documents used by the World Health Organization, ICM's Core Documents and Position Statements.
Access to framework will be available soon, check this website for updates.
