The midstart program is post grad only, i already have my bachelors in nursing. You only get into the uni program for whatever uni once youre in the midstart program

Ahh OK, you see as a NUM with a MHA I did not know that. I'll be honest there are only a few Aussie nurses that gang out here so you may not get a definitive answer, it sucks that the NursePath closed its page as it was a wealth of knowledge, but I have attached screen shots from them of other Australian pages that may be of help.

Have a squiz at the introduction/ learning outcomes for a couple of unis midwifery programs to see how it differs from nursing - I am thinking well woman care vs unwell pt in nursing. There is a big focus on reconciliation action plans in health services so read up on them - check out LinkedIn for some other info.

Best of luck to you!

I can't say specifically what questions they will ask but things that are worth thinking about are:
1. Why do you want to be a midwife?
2. What is your midwifery philosophy?
3. What do you know about the current status of midwifery in Australia & any current developments?
4. What does woman-centred care mean to you?
