Johnsons Baby Midwife of The Year

Midwife of the Year Award

JOHNSON’S® baby Midwife of the Year Award was launched on International Midwives Day (IMD), May 5, in 2000 to raise the profile of midwives and increase public awareness of the important role midwives play in the care of women and their families before, during and after the birth of their babies.

Although the award is only in its infancy it has already been a wonderful success in lifting the mood, spirit and profile of midwives. This success has the capacity to make this event one that will be clearly recognised and anticipated annually for what it is – a celebration and acknowledgment of the vital role midwives play in our communities.

The JOHNSON’S® baby Midwife of the Year Awards are appreciated by midwives and the Australian College of Midwives values Johnson & Johnson’s efforts in giving new mothers across Australia the opportunity to say a big public ‘thank you ‘ to their midwife. Most midwives love working with women and babies and they don’t expect or even want a public fuss about what they do. But it’s nice to be recognised as having made a difference to a woman’s life.

“This is a fantastic idea and is a symbol of recognition to all midwives. It is lovely to see the profile of Midwives exposed and lifted. Being named Johnson’s baby Midwife of the Year was an extremely high point in my career”
