Do you already have a visa? Or are you looking for sponsorship when you apply to hospitals?

Re: midwifery jobs in melbourne
Am I right in thinking that Melbourne and VIC in general are extremely obsetrics-based rather than midwifery led?

Re: midwifery jobs in melbourne
I'm a midwife in Melbourne and yes most are obstetric based! depends what area you live in and if you want to commute.
Avoid private as they are know as caesarean palaces here and very obstetric lead!
If you want caseload and a fare bit of autonomy, work at Geelong hospital, Casey hospital or sunshine hospital.
The women's, Mercy and Monash are all tertiary hospital where all the really really high risk pregnancies go and obstetrics led. Though Mercy do have a birth centre!
Box hill and the angliss are good too. Avoid the northern hospital - has a bad reputation in Melbourne!!
