[ozmidwifery] Job Vacancy at Katherine NT

[Anne Smith]

There's a vacancy with the Katherine West Health Board for a Maternal &
Women's Health Coordinator.  It's for a midwife with a strong interest
in working with Aboriginal people and experience in coordinating and
developing population health programs utilizing a primary health care
model.
The reason I'm sending this is that I'm just finishing a very short-term
contract to complete a project in this area.  It would be a great job
for someone who is comfortable with lots of traveling and an enthusiasm
for working with the female members of the communities.  Katherine is
also ideally situated as a base for all the wonderful attractions of
this area including the Nitmiluk, Gregory and Kakadu National Parks.
 
If you're interested contact the Human Resource Coordinator on (08) 8971
9300 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Hi Di, 

  The birth centre is only a dream at this point and when I see how fast they 
work here it might be another 1 or 2 years until it's up and running, and then 
it will still be running under the medical model, since it is on hospital 
grounds. I don't think that it will be run as a true midwifery model. Love Anke

  Oh Anke I will do my best to see that that is not the case. I have not put 
2.5years into this project to see it turn into something that I hate. I wont 
let them take it away from the people who it is for. The will have a big fight 
on their hands if they do. Our first meeting later this month re the BC should 
be with me only days of having this baby. I will try to look very big and 
scary.

What about Mareeba or Cairns? Not Mackay though, the job there is mine (as soon 
as I get through the interview!! LOL). Although only 20m from the hospital, it 
is very woman centred care, but true , there are some limitations where the 
medical model impinges on care, but not much and usually only when there is 
reason for referal or transfer of care. The docs dont like letting go of that 
36wk visit here though, even for 'normal' women.

Hi list members,

I wanted to send this email under "how do you deal with your frustrations?' 
but the text is not really an answer to that discussion. Therefore I started a 
new one. I just quit my job at the local hospital, because I could no longer 
accept the way women and staff (lower in rank and peers) were treated there by 
the other staff (higher in rank).  However, I would like to work where staff 
can be civil towards each other and their clients, preferably in education or 
midwifery (or both). I have a Graduate Diploma in Childbirth Education and a 
Master of Midwifery.

If there is no job like this in Australia for me, I might have to go to 
Holland. Because I have my children here and grandchildren as well I prefer to 
stay in Australia.

If anyone can help, please let me know here or on my email at home: [EMAIL

Hi Anke
Where are you geographically?
You say you want to be around birthing women. How about setting up in private 
practice as Jan says??
You dont have to "steal income" from other childbirth educators. What about a 
complete midwifery practice, antenatal care, birth support in hospital, 
homebirth, postnatal care...Steal it back from the medical profession!!.I have 
to warn you though! Its terribly addictive. 

I heard a rumor from a midwife in Katherine there is an interesting job going 
up there soon. (Hi Anne...!!). 

Something perfect will come up for you and by the way a huge congratulations 
for refusing to compromise your principles.

Hi Jan, 
I thought of that, but there are already 2 childbirth educators here and
they are good practitioners. I don't like to 'steal' their income. They
are too good and nice for that. Also I like to help the women to birth
too much. I'm addicted.

Hi Anke - a happy New Year to you
Bullying is the name of the game in most Autralian maternity units. I 
can only suggest that you start working with women again and not with 
colleagues. Set up your own practice.
It is so satisfying working one-to-one rather than deal with 
disgruntled staff who are working their butts off trying to provide a 
service for which they just don't have the numbers.
You could start up  your own "community classes as a private childbirth 
educator"  Run them in your home initially and move into a local church 
or community hall as your class number increase.

  Hi everyone,
   
  Does any one know of any positions vacant in 
  Brisbane, for an experienced team midwife? I have a colleague who's husband is 
  being transfered to Brisbane. 
   
  She has extensive experience in midwifery models 
  of care, alternate therapies and is also a lactation consultant. Her ideal 
  midwifery position would be in a caseload practice. If anyone has any 
  suggestions to pass on to her it would be great.
   
   I think she is applying to the Redcliff 
  hospital, are the services there woman centred? She is looking at living 
  somewhere near there, maybe a new sub division called Mango Hill, I 
  think.

  Hi 
  Di,
  I 
  work at Redcliffe. The district incorporates Caboolture Hospital so if one is 
  casual can work between the 2 hospitals. Distance between is 32km's. 
  Caboolture has about 1600 births per year and Redcliffe about 1200. These 
  numbers have  increased by about 20% in the past 12-18 months. Both 
  have level 2 SCN and both send <34 weeks to the Tertiary hospitals RBWH or 
  Mater.
  We 
  are in the process of introducing a 12 month trial of 3 models of care across 
  the district as part of the North Lakes Development - discussion and planning 
  stage at present hopefully commencing early next year. The three are: small 
  team caseload, group care based on an American project of developing a sense 
  of community amongst the women so group AN care and education and the last is 
  a GP-Midwife partnership model of care. 
  At 
  present we have 2 midwife clinics each week with 2 Medical clinics where 
  midwives also see women. these are primarily of higher risk or routine 
  Dr's visits at 21, 35-37 or 41 weeks. Caboolture also has Midwives 
  clinics. Unfortunately although we are in the same district there is 
  less 'interference' to midwives practice at Caboolture. We are able to self 
  roster to work in all areas- one day BS next shift maybe post natal- Birth 
  Suite, post natal, ante-natal, SCN or Home Maternity Service so we are able to 
  keep skills up and hopefully keep the family happy. Night duty isn't an option 
  we all do our share. It may take time to get to ANC or HMS due to the 
  small numbers working there in comparison. There has traditionally been a low 
  turnover of staff here.
  Queensland Health encourages opportunities for country service- 
  short term secondments as well. I recently declined going to Longreach for 6 
  weeks because of the new models of care being introduced. I have been out 
  twice now to Emerald Hospital. Fabulous self and professional 
  development to attend to women with no anaesthetic back up for epidurals, 
  using all your midwifery skills supporting them through the birth and they are 
  just so thankful. Of course there is RFDS back up for major 
  problems.
  At 
  both Caboolture and Redcliffe there are very active midwives in the ACMI 
  Qld branch and I am also on the QNU Executive. Caroline Weaver previous ICM 
  President is presently Executive Director of Nursing so is very aware of 
  contemporary midwifery practices. Redcliffe Hospital phone number is 07 883 
   and ask for Caroline if you wish to find out more. Job advertisements for 
  midwives and specifically included DEM went out 2 weeks ago and close 19/12 
  primarily to expand our numbers to roll out the new models of care. Look on www.health.qld.gov.au for jobs 
  listings as well.
  Like 
  many hospitals in Queensland many midwives are on contract basis often month 
  to month before a permanent position becomes available but there is plenty of 
  work around. Selangor Private is about 40-60 minutes north and RBWH about the 
  same south in peak hour. The Mater is just dreadful trying to drive south 
  across the Brisbane river in peak hour- it used to take me one and a half 
  hours to get there for a day shift. If one plans to work there you need to 
  live much closer and on the south side.
  Mango Hill incorporates North Lakes (yet to be given separate 
  designation) and it includes a Westfields North Lakes Shopping Centre. North 
  Lakes has just won an international award for integrated planning. It has been 
  developing for the past 7-8 years so all new fresh housing, private and state 
  schools and child Care centres. I live behind this new development at 
  Deception Bay. The Bay has had a bad rap many years ago but is expanding ++ in 
  recent times. The waterfront is mangroves and tidal. Large parts of this 
  foreshore includes the Maritime National park of the same name. Great 
  foreshore for walking ones dog, setting the tinny on the water or fishing for 
  whiting from the banks.
  I 
  hope that has answered yours and others questions. I look forward to many 
  midwives seeking a change to join us in this lovely part of 
  Queensland.
  Cheers Barb

numbers have  increased by about 20% in the past 12-18 months. Both 
have level 2 SCN and both send <34 weeks to the Tertiary hospitals RBWH or 
Mater.
We are 
in the process of introducing a 12 month trial of 3 models of care across the 
district as part of the North Lakes Development - discussion and planning stage 
at present hopefully commencing early next year. The three are: small team 
caseload, group care based on an American project of developing a sense of 
community amongst the women so group AN care and education and the last is a 
GP-Midwife partnership model of care. 
At 
present we have 2 midwife clinics each week with 2 Medical clinics where 
midwives also see women. these are primarily of higher risk or routine 
Dr's visits at 21, 35-37 or 41 weeks. Caboolture also has Midwives clinics. 
Unfortunately although we are in the same district there is less 
'interference' to midwives practice at Caboolture. We are able to self roster to 
work in all areas- one day BS next shift maybe post natal- Birth Suite, post 
natal, ante-natal, SCN or Home Maternity Service so we are able to keep skills 
up and hopefully keep the family happy. Night duty isn't an option we all do our 
share. It may take time to get to ANC or HMS due to the small numbers 
working there in comparison. There has traditionally been a low turnover of 
staff here.
Queensland Health encourages opportunities for country service- 
short term secondments as well. I recently declined going to Longreach for 6 
weeks because of the new models of care being introduced. I have been out twice 
now to Emerald Hospital. Fabulous self and professional development to 
attend to women with no anaesthetic back up for epidurals, using all your 
midwifery skills supporting them through the birth and they are just so 
thankful. Of course there is RFDS back up for major 
problems.
At 
both Caboolture and Redcliffe there are very active midwives in the ACMI 
Qld branch and I am also on the QNU Executive. Caroline Weaver previous ICM 
President is presently Executive Director of Nursing so is very aware of 
contemporary midwifery practices. Redcliffe Hospital phone number is 07 883  
and ask for Caroline if you wish to find out more. Job advertisements for 
midwives and specifically included DEM went out 2 weeks ago and close 19/12 
primarily to expand our numbers to roll out the new models of care. Look on www.health.qld.gov.au for jobs listings 
as well.
Like 
many hospitals in Queensland many midwives are on contract basis often month to 
month before a permanent position becomes available but there is plenty of work 
around. Selangor Private is about 40-60 minutes north and RBWH about the same 
south in peak hour. The Mater is just dreadful trying to drive south across 
the Brisbane river in peak hour- it used to take me one and a half hours to get 
there for a day shift. If one plans to work there you need to live much closer 
and on the south side.
Mango 
Hill incorporates North Lakes (yet to be given separate designation) and it 
includes a Westfields North Lakes Shopping Centre. North Lakes has just won an 
international award for integrated planning. It has been developing for the past 
7-8 years so all new fresh housing, private and state schools and child Care 
centres. I live behind this new development at Deception Bay. The Bay has had a 
bad rap many years ago but is expanding ++ in recent times. The waterfront is 
mangroves and tidal. Large parts of this foreshore includes the Maritime 
National park of the same name. Great foreshore for walking ones dog, 
setting the tinny on the water or fishing for whiting from the 
banks.
I hope 
that has answered yours and others questions. I look forward to many midwives 
seeking a change to join us in this lovely part of 
Queensland.
Cheers 
Barb

  She has extensive experience in midwifery models

I too had similar feelings when I "trained " in 77/78 and at times have gone
through similar thoughts (think I'll go computer nerd,  or something,  sell
materials or just do embroidery [not the perineal type!!!]. It's part of the
interesting walk of the breed known as Midwife. Keep one foot moving after

Dear Sally, isn't it the worst feeling. I was like that when I worked for
the Illawarra Area Health Service, moved around from the birth centre to the
postnatal ward. It took me 4 years of doing the things I really did not want
to do, but finally I ESCAPED,  and now I am a different happier, contented
