Making a career change to midwifery

We are committed to supporting New Zealand-registered health professionals who would like a career in midwifery.

Any registered health professional can independently approach a school of midwifery for an assessment of their current knowledge and skills. This assessment will be used to tailor a programme of education that will meet the needs of the individual applicant.

Any programme proposed must be in line with international standards and will require a minimum of 18 months to complete.

If you would like to discuss a recognition of prior learning programme with the DHB please email Carolyn.coles@ccdhb.org.nz or phone 027 836 0294.
