Midwifery Fellowship – background

The Midwifery Fellowship was established in 2003 by the Office of the Chief Nursing Officer, Department of Health, Western Australia to demonstrate it’s recognition of the value and importance of midwives in Western Australia. The Midwifery Fellowship is awarded annually to celebrate International Midwives’ Day on 5 May.

It may also provide the opportunity for midwives to undertake a study tour to examine new innovations, best practice, or evidence based midwifery in action.
