Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service - Melbourne VIC
Long metro commutes got you exhausted? Struggling to find time, keep up with the rising cost of living, and endure another gloomy winter?
Joining our maternity unit means stepping into a team that balances advanced clinical practice with sub-tropical warmth and a lifestyle that actually gives you time to live, in a region that is spacious- not densely populated.
Central Queensland Health is seeking a passionate Registered Midwife to join our Maternity Services team. In this role, you will work in true partnership with women, offering comprehensive care across our Midwifery Group Practice (MGP), Birth Suite, and continuity models.
At our regional hospital, you will collaborate within a highly connected, multidisciplinary team that deeply values your growth, autonomy, and clinical judgement. Our service incorporates an all-risk continuity framework, providing an environment where you can truly practice to your full scope alongside passionate peers.
Trading hours of gridlocked Melbourne highway traffic and freezing weather for year-round sunshine and an effortless, sub-10-minute daily commute gives you the structural space to build a career while securing immediate lifestyle returns:
Full-Scope Midwifery Practice:
Work across a supportive framework encompassing MGP, busy Birth Suites, and full continuity workflows alongside flexible, family-friendly roster options.
Regional Affordability:
Build your financial future faster with an incredibly affordable housing market and lower overall cost of living.




Coastal and Outdoor Lifestyle:
Enjoying the great outdoors with adventures on Great Keppel Island, exploring pristine beaches just 35 minutes away, or hiking Mount Archer national park tracks right on your doorstep.
Family Presence:
Reclaim your afternoons to be fully present with your kids and family right after your shift ends, completely free from long transit fatigue.
