The aim of the course is to:

  • equip RMs to work to their full scope of practice
  • develop a RM workforce which will prevent the closure of maternity units in rural areas and reopen many that have closed
  • offer RMs living in rural and remote areas the opportunity to study at Master level by distance education
  • enhance the profile of midwifery
  • educationally prepare experienced RMs to be confident and competent in their teaching and mentorship of tertiary level preregistration midwives.
