MIDGD6004 Woman Centred Midwifery Practice 2
This course is an introduction to complex pregnancy and childbirth and the role of the midwife in providing care for women experiencing problems. 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. The students will also develop foundational knowledge for the care of babies with special needs. Students will have the opportunity to study the circumstances that commonly result in a baby being admitted to a Special Care Nursery. The issues confronting the infant and family during this period will be explored and the role of the midwife in facilitating the health and wellbeing of the family. Students will reflect upon and debate the ethical-legal issues concerning the baby requiring extra care. Emphasis is given to the collaborative role of the midwife, consultation and referral, use of medical technology & intervention, and the implications for women, their babies, and midwives.

The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,157
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,157
* 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.
