Aim of Program

This program is an exciting opportunity for a newly Registered Nursing and Midwifery graduate to complete a transition to practice year within regional and rural settings. The program is structured to enable rotations of graduates between participating services in order to provide a variety of both nursing and midwifery experiences. Clinical experience is complemented by study days and access to regional continuing education programs, simulation based learning and online learning. Clinical support staff are available in all services.

The graduate nurse midwife is employed at East Grampians Health Service, where the graduate year is intentionally structured to build capability across diverse clinical settings. This includes acute medical and surgical care, general nursing, antenatal services, birthing, and postnatal care, including domiciliary services. Graduates may also access paid placements within a tertiary maternity hospital.
