Abstract
The final report Midwifery Futures: Building the Australian midwifery workforce was published on 23 October 2024.
The report, delivered by Burnet Institute in collaboration with the Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officers of Australia and New Zealand, aimed to review the current state of Australia’s midwifery workforce and generate information to support policy, regulatory, industrial and educational change in midwifery service provision.
A review of previous reports and the research conducted found that the midwifery workforce in Australia is in crisis and change is needed.
Midwifery Futures makes 32 recommendations in five key areas: Increased visibility, governance and leadership Growing the midwifery workforce Support the midwifery workforce Improve data to support workforce planning, and Scale-up midwifery models of care
