HI Joanne, Thanks for the info. A bit disheartening I must admit, I was fortunate enough to have my second child at a birth centre in brisbane and just loved the experience. I am hopeful of working there at the end of my degree, and even more hopeful that qld change their position by then! I've already had an insight into the challenges of midwifery, but I am yet to be discouraged and can't wait to learn more.
