Our workshops just for student midwives aim to extend your knowledge base by combining theory and practical skills to help you support and communicate with women and their families.
We aim to give you confidence in these essentials as you begin your career as a midwife.
Our presenters are passionate about creating a safe and inclusive learning space where there’s no such thing as a silly question.
All classes run from 1pm – 3:30pm at MAMA Kensington. The cost is $60 for one workshop, or $150 if you book three. Please note, these workshops are in high demand, booking out with wait list, which means invariably keen students miss out on coming. As a result, we’ve had to introduce a strict refund/cancellation policy as below.* If you’d like to book all three workshops, please contact Reception at (03)9376 7474 or admin@midwivesandmothers.com.au
