What we offer

Applications are invited from Endorsed Midwives to join the Royal Perth Bentley Group (RPBG) as Endorsed Midwives at Bentley Health Service (BHS) in an exciting and new model of care for maternity services. The service provides a Midwifery Birth Centre (MBC) for women within the East Metropolitan Health Service catchment area, offering continuity of care from pregnancy through to birth by the same midwife for each woman. This model of care is the first of its kind offered within the WA Health public sector.

We are seeking to establish a pool of experienced, passionate and caring Endorsed Midwives to join our MBC team, providing evidence-based and high-quality patient care as autonomous practitioners. If you have current Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) registration as a Registered Midwife with Endorsement to prescribe Schedule 2, 3, 5 and 8 medications required for midwifery practice across pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal care, then we would like to hear from you.

Our new MBC is located at BHS within a local community setting with dedicated and upgraded facilities for women accessing our services. Midwives offer continuity of care through a caseload roster across the continuum of the antenatal, intrapartum/birthing and postnatal periods.

This is a Recruitment Pool for Permanent and Fixed Term Full Time/Part Time and Part Time. This recruitment pool will be open for 12 months.

The following should be noted:

- The panel will monitor this recruitment pool for applications throughout this timeframe and will assess on a regular basis.
- Suitable applicants will be placed in a pool and appointments may be made when similar vacancies occur within any EMHS facility.
- Appointments may be made from this pool until 31 December 2026.

Our vision, "Healthy people, amazing care. Koorda moort, moorditj kwabadak", captures the essence of what we do and what we inspire each other to do every day—show compassion, dedication and professionalism.
