Healthlink recruitment is the only exclusive midwifery led agency in the Australian midwifery sector connecting hospitals Australia wide with skilled midwives through a single, dedicated point of contact.
We start by understanding your unit's culture, patient acuity, and the specific midwifery scope you're short on.
We shortlist from a pool of credentialed midwives, sourced and vetted by practicing midwives rather than generalist recruiters.
From a single metro fill-in shift to an extended remote placement, we staff midwives across every setting hospitals actually operate in.
Metro units carry the heaviest birth numbers and the least room to move. A single sick call, high acuity activity or just short staffing can leave a roster short with no notice.
4 to 12 hour shifts, ad hoc cover and ongoing panel arrangements are all handled the same way, by midwives who know what you need.
What you get with metro cover:
On-demand access to credentialed midwives across metro hospitals and birth centres, from a single fill-in shift through to an ongoing arrangement across your roster.
Perfect foR
Regional maternity units are understaffed. Fewer midwives means one vacancy, one leave request, or one resignation has a bigger impact on the roster than it would in a larger unit.
Many regional midwives are also rostered across general nursing duties, so a gap in midwifery cover can affect more than just the birth suite.
A block placement keeps the roster covered while recruitment or rostering is sorted out.
What you get with a regional placement:
Placements built for units running lean, giving consistent midwifery cover while a recruitment or rostering gap is sorted out.
Perfect for
Rural and remote maternity services often run on a handful of midwives, sometimes one. A single sick day, resignation or leave request can close the unit or push the caseload into unsafe territory.
We arrange the logistics. We do not overcomplicate it.
What you get with a rural or remote placement:
Placements into low volume, high responsibility units, from sole practitioner backup through to fly in fly out coverage for the most isolated services.
Perfect for every season
Metropolitan Hospitals are under pressure to reduce overtime, avoid penalty-rate blowouts, and keep their teams safe. That’s why Micro-Shifts are becoming the preferred option and they’re perfect for midwives who want flexibility.
They are short shifts that cover high acuity timeframes ideal for; return to work, semi retired, burn-out, return from Maternity leave, mums with child care issues or just midwives who don’t want to work long shifts.
We’re building local Micro-Shift Midwifery Teams:
Shorter 4–6 hour rostered shifts designed to cover peak workload periods instead of a full shift.
