Complex Midwifery Practice | Federation University

MIDBM3106 Complex Midwifery Practice

This practice unit will focus on students developing their knowledge and skills relating to obstacles and emergencies that women may experience during pregnancy, labour and birth and the first weeks after birth. Emphasis is given to the recognition of problems and the collaborative and referral role of the midwife whilst maintaining a woman-centred focus. Midwifery and obstetric management of childbearing obstacles will be explored. Students will develop their existing knowledge/skills by working with women and collaborating with other members of the healthcare team when problems arise during pregnancy, labour & birth and in the care of the mother and baby in the first weeks after birth.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
