Eligibility for MidStart

​​To be eligible to apply for MidStart you must be:

1. an Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident (New Zealand citizens residing in Australia who hold a current Special Category Visa are considered to have permanent residency status)
2. a Registered Nurse (Division 1) with the NMBA at the time of application.

As a registered nurse I dreamt of becoming a midwife following my positive experiences during a maternity placement as a student. Once I made the change, I was genuinely welcomed and encouraged by the women, their families and our midwifery colleagues.
