Travel Midwife: Explore Australia Between Shifts in Melbourne

Midwives - What if a random contract became one of your favourite chapters?

Cornerstone Medical Recruitment – Melbourne VIC

Your next contract could take you somewhere you never expected. What if your next work contract became one of your favourite chapters? You might leave home thinking you're heading somewhere for a few weeks or months. Then you meet people you never would have crossed paths with. You find a little café that becomes your favourite. You take a wrong turn on your day off and discover somewhere incredible. You watch a sunset in a town you'd never even heard of six months ago. And suddenly, somewhere you never expected to love starts to feel a little like home. That's the adventure of travel midwifery.

We're looking for Registered Midwives who are ready to swap the same four walls for new experiences, new communities and the opportunity to see more of Australia while doing the work they love.

WORK SOMEWHERE NEW. MEET SOMEONE NEW. DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW.

Every contract brings something different:

• A new hospital.
• A new team.
• A new community.
• Different families and experiences.
• A whole new place waiting to be explored when your shift ends.

One contract might have you grabbing coffee with your new colleagues before a morning shift. Another might have you spending your day off hiking through a national park, wandering around a country town, swimming at a beach you've never heard of, exploring local markets or sitting beside a river watching the world go by. You never quite know who you'll meet, what you'll discover or which place might unexpectedly become a favourite. And that's the point. Your career can take you places. So why not let it?

WHERE COULD YOU END UP?

From coastal communities to country towns, mountain ranges to tropical landscapes, wine regions to the outback, there is so much more of Australia waiting to be experienced.

NEW SOUTH WALES

Maybe your next home is somewhere along the coast. Maybe it's surrounded by rolling countryside, mountains or wide-open spaces. Discover regional communities, beautiful beaches, national parks, local food and wine - and those little places you probably wouldn't have thought to visit if work hadn't taken you there.

VICTORIA

Charming regional towns, dramatic coastlines, mountains, food, wine, arts and culture. Spend your days off exploring somewhere new, finding your favourite local café or jumping in the car for a spontaneous weekend road trip.

QUEENSLAND

Trade the cold for sunshine and an outdoor lifestyle. From tropical coastlines and beautiful beaches to lush hinterland, national parks and regional communities, Queensland makes it easy to turn your days off into an adventure.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Slow things down and discover somewhere different. Explore wineries, beaches, incredible food, rugged landscapes and friendly regional communities - with plenty of unexpected places to find along the way.

TASMANIA

For those who want nature on their doorstep. Think mountains, forests, rugged coastlines, pristine beaches, charming towns and incredible local produce. Your biggest decision might be whether to explore the mountains or find a new favourite bakery.

NORTHERN TERRITORY

Ready for something completely different? Discover dramatic landscapes, waterfalls, national parks, tropical surroundings, incredible wildlife, rich Aboriginal culture and communities unlike anywhere else in Australia. This is travel midwifery with a serious sense of adventure.

AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

Enjoy the best of both worlds. City life, cafés, restaurants, galleries and culture - with mountains, bushland and countryside only a short trip away. Perfect for those who want variety both inside and outside the hospital.

WHY TRAVEL MIDWIFERY?

Because sometimes you need to step outside your comfort zone to discover just how much is out there. With us, you'll have access to:

• Excellent agency pay rates
• Accommodation and travel support available
• Flexible contracts to suit your lifestyle
• The opportunity to work across different maternity settings
• New teams, new colleagues and new connections
• The chance to experience communities you may never otherwise visit
• Time off to actually explore your surroundings
• New experiences that stay with you long after the contract ends

And perhaps most importantly... A chance to create a career filled with stories. The kind of stories that start with: "I never thought I'd end up here..." and end with: "I'm so glad I did."

WE'RE LOOKING FOR MIDWIVES WHO ARE...

• AHPRA registered
• Adaptable and confident working in new environments
• Positive and open to new experiences
• Ready to meet new people and become part of new teams
• Curious about what Australia has to offer
• Looking for something a little different
• Keen to explore while continuing to do what they love

NO VISA OR SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE

Your next contract could be more than a job. It could be the place you make a new friend. The town you never expected to love. The road trip you almost didn't take. The team you'll still talk about years later. The sunset you'll never forget. The place that wasn't on your bucket list - until you discovered it. Travel midwifery gives you the opportunity to work, explore, connect and experience Australia in a way you simply can't from the same hospital every day.

So pack your scrubs. Put together a playlist. Fill up the car. And see where your career takes you next. Your next adventure is waiting. Where will it take you?
