FIFO Midwife

The Role:

This isn’t just a midwifery job. It’s a completely different way to practice.

Swap the fluorescent lights and ten-minute appointment slots for red dirt, big skies, and work that actually means something. This Regional Health Service in the Northern Territory is looking for an experienced Remote Area Midwife to join a tight-knit Maternal and Women’s Health team, working shoulder-to-shoulder with an incredible Aboriginal Health workforce, delivering care that’s genuinely community-led.

Why midwives love this role

You’ll fly by charter plane between remote communities. You’ll know your patients by name, not by file number. You’ll be trusted to use the full breadth of your clinical skill, with the autonomy that city hospitals never give you. And at the end of the swing, you’ll fly home knowing you’ve made a real difference – not just seen a quota.

The work

• Deliver hands-on antenatal and postnatal care that actually changes outcomes
• Walk alongside women and families through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood
• Build deep, trusted relationships with community leaders and families
• Partner with Aboriginal Health Practitioners as genuine equals in care
• Lead health promotion and preventative health initiatives on the ground
• Immerse yourself in culture, knowledge and community like nowhere else

What you’ll bring

• Current AHPRA Midwife registration
• Solid antenatal, postnatal and maternity experience
• Sharp clinical judgement and the confidence to work autonomously
• A real, demonstrated commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health
• Resilience, flexibility, and a sense of adventure
• A driver’s licence (4WD skills? Even better)
• An appetite for small-plane travel and true remote living

The rewards – and they’re substantial

• $100,000-$152,000 salary
• Housing and utilities provided
• Up to $18,550 combined salary + meal/entertainment packaging
• 6 weeks annual leave + 17.5% loading
• Fares Out Leave – fully funded trips home
• 12 days personal leave
• Up to $2,179.89 annual travel assistance
• Study leave + up to $1,800 study assistance
• 2% Post-Graduate Allowance
• Genuine professional development, not just tick-box training
• Potential $10,000 retention bonus

Bottom line: better pay, better lifestyle, better purpose. Applications that move fast get first pick of start dates – get in touch today.
