That is just plain ridiculous....if we aren't 'competent' enough to work
outside of a hospital....what makes us any more competent inside 4
walls?????

>Medicare does not recognise Midwives as 'professionals' competent or
capable of practicing without the supervision of a doctor in Australia.
Therefore it will not recompense any services provided by them to pregnant
women.
>HOWEVER: The exception is when working in a remote community :
>in which case you don't even have to be a midwife to provide pre-natal
care, enrolled nurses & aboriginal health workers with NO mid education are
considered quite competent to provide maternity care which medicare will
refund for as long as they are supervised (however loosely) by a doctor
(who of course knows much
more about normal pregnancy & childbirth then any midwife) !
>
>If Midwives were as qualified as a chiropractor, chiropodist, naturopath,
herbalist etc then they would get recognition.
>It would appear that we just aren't up to scratch !!!
>Our skills whilst working within a hospital immediately disappear once we
step off the premises apparently.
