Our team

We’re a supportive, welcoming team that values teamwork, open communication and mutual respect. Midwives who have worked across many hospitals in NSW tell us this is one of the best teams they’ve worked with. We’re never shy to ask questions here, so you’ll be joining a team that’s keen to keep learning. When time allows, we also connect through informal catch-ups, celebrations and morning teas.

Who would love it here?

A midwife who is passionate about education and enjoys supporting others to succeed. You’ll fit right in if you’re approachable, organised and collaborative, and committed to safe, respectful, woman-centred care.
