A midwife who only has private clients as major source of income?
A midwife who works within a hospital system and also has some private clients in her 'spare time' (whatever that is!)?
And then are numbers involved? How many women does one have to birth with per year to be considered an independantly practicing midwife?
Tania mentioned 7 here in SA but I know of at least 10 here who would fit into either category above (but most in 2nd category)....
Jan, there is probably something in ASIM's charter (or Terms of reference, or whatever it is that you have for ASIM) that would answer this?
Jennifairy (being curious)

I'm down to fifty on the ASIM mailing list for our Communique, Sue I'm sure there are more IPMs around who don't belong though.
As a rough estimate I'd say there are at least 70 practising full time and part time around the country.
Cheers

not enough but it would be hard to tell because some are not admitting it and some not wanting to practice without insurance
Count me as 1 but the MIPP list is useful for Victoria
