This webinar is the first of our Special Webinar Series on Midwifery Scope of Practice. It is facilitated by ACM Chief Midwife Alison Weatherstone and presented by Prof Lisa Nissen.

Special Webinar Series - Midwifery Scope of Practice
Webinar #1 - What is midwifery scope of practice?
Webinar #2 - Scope of practice member information session

As the government conducts the Unleashing the Potential of our Health Workforce review into scope of practice of primary care providers, its important midwifery is well represented. Join us for a special presentation from Professor Lisa Nissen to learn more about scope of practice and better inform your response to the second round of scope of practice submissions. If you completed a scope of practice survey or if you missed it (it’s not too late), this webinar has important information for all midwives.
