Dubbo Health Service

About the role
Are you looking for a change?  You never know - regional New South Wales might be the place for you.

Dubbo Health Service is a Level 5 maternity service with a Level 4 neonatal care nursery, caring for babies from as early as 32 weeks’ gestation. Our catchment stretches as far west as Broken Hill and north to the Queensland border, serving a large and diverse population.

Each year, we deliver 1,200 - 1,300 babies, and only half of these families live within 50 km of Dubbo. That means variety is guaranteed. From low-risk and no-risk clients to complex, high-risk pregnancies, our team sees it all. One moment you may be delivering a premature baby, the next you could be supporting a patient with hypertension and rapidly changing blood pressures.

Around 85% of antenatal care is provided through the public hospital system, with models of care including midwife-led, MAPP program, high-risk antenatal clinics, and private obstetrician care.

We are a strong team of 75+ staff, working across full-time and part-time roles, including Midwifery Educators, Midwifery Consultants, Clinical Midwifery Specialists, and supportive Managers - you’ll be well supported in your practice.

In Dubbo, the commute is stress-free - most of us travel less than 15 minutes to work, giving us more time doing the things we love, all while building a rewarding and meaningful career.

Dubbo Health Service gives you the opportunity to use the full scope of your midwifery skills. Whether you’re a newly registered midwife or have years of experience, there’s a place for you here. Some days you’ll use every skill you have; on others, you’ll be honing specific parts of your practice - no two days are ever the same.

We’re also a teaching and training hub with a wide network of support. Our team includes Clinical Nurse Specialists, Midwifery Educators, Midwifery Managers, and an experienced Obstetrics Team - including registrars on the RANZCOG training program - all working together to deliver evidence-based care.

We support the next generation of health professionals through:

·         Direct-entry Midwifery Students completing their clinical placements with us

·         Newly Registered Midwives who are mentored and supported as they transition into practice

·         A postgraduate midwifery training program, with six to nine students at any one time

·         Undergraduate Medical Students from the University of Sydney’s School of Rural Health training alongside us

Behind the scenes, our work is made possible by a dedicated Administration and Clerical Team, keeping everything running smoothly.

If you value variety, teamwork, and the chance to make a real impact in maternity care - Dubbo has it all.
