About Northern Health:

As an organisation we have a clear focus on how we service and partner with our community, including our strategy of helping the community stay well when at home. Our reputation of community minded, inclusive and progressive is matched to none. 

Northern Health is located in the rapidly growing northern suburbs with projected growth the biggest in the state. With a booming, culturally rich and diverse community, and less than an hour’s drive from the CBD (still within the bounds of Myki and ride-sharing), Melbourne’s North is fast becoming the place to be.

Northern Health are seeking applications from motivated and suitably experienced Midwife to join the Antenatal Clinic Team in the role of GP Liaison Midwife.

Northern Health is the major provider of acute, maternity, sub-acute, mental health, specialist, community and home-based services in Melbourne’s rapidly growing outer north.

Northern Hospital Epping, Broadmeadows Hospital, Bundoora Centre, Craigieburn and Mernda Community Hospitals Centres and Kilmore District Hospital.  In addition, Mental Health Services are provided at Epping, Broadmeadows, Jacana, Preston, Mill Park, Mernda and Coburg.

About the Role:

The GP Liaison Midwife acts as a crucial link between a hospital's maternity services and general practitioners (GPs), facilitating communication, collaboration, and improved patient care. This role involves receiving referrals from the antenatal midwives for patients whom are suitable for GP Shared Care and then coordinating that care with the appropriate qualified Shared Care GPs.  The role focuses on building relationships with GP's, enhancing shared-care policies and pathways, promoting hospital services, coordinating education and support, and ensuring timely and smooth patient pathways between the hospital and primary care.  

To be successful in this role you will have:

• Clinical experience and expertise in maternity care, including antenatal care


• Excellent communication skills both interprofessional and directly with the consumer


• Demonstrated ability to practice collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary health care team


• Ability to work autonomously
