Any such job as a midwifery assistant in oz?

[Guest nickie]

Hey i am a fulltime mum but do casual hours at my local maternity unit as a midwifery assistant also called a maternity health care assistant. this can be helping to deliver babies alongside a registered midwife, helping mothers b4 and after labour. post natal. feeding babies, helping mums shower etc etc

i love the job but i hate working at the hospital. its soo stressful and many times have to close the doors to labouring woman due to having no space for them. is there such a job in oz?

Hi Nickie, not sure to be honest, I know a couple of midwives who moved over and were not allowed as much hands on as in the UK, it seems to be the specialists/dr's who do most of the work and the midwives assisting. Maybe other hospitals are different.
