Hi Jessica, I recently worked at Mullum on a permanent one day a week contract but have resigned due to the juggle of fitting other work and life in and the 50 minute drive from my home.I enjoyed meeting the midwives and the contact I had with the Mums but wasn't so keen on the large amount of heavy geriatric and medical nursing that was my lot when no mid women were in. It has a lovely set up for birthing with a population of women comitted to birthing without drugs and other intervention. Birth in water although still "accidental", happens regularly in the pools women hire. There is no continuity of midwife care or any midwife prenatal care apart from booking visits as far as I know.The G.P.s"s I met were friendly and happy to provide the information women needed to make their own decisions. We also have an active Far North Coast Midwives Assoc. to provide support to each other and encourage change and there has recently been appointed a CNC midwife for the area in whom we are placing our trust and support. Besides all that, its a great place to live.
