Secret Midwives Business

Welcome to Desert Storks, a web site for Eastern Goldfields women and their families from the midwives of the Australia College of Midwives Kalgoorlie Sub Branch. We want to share with you ‘Secret Midwives Business’.

The midwives of the maternity unit are a magical group of individuals who bring so much experience, fun, laughter and passion to their midwifery and to the unit of the Goldfields. We believe that if women are to have safe birth options and trust in their own abilities, then the empowerment of the midwife is crucial in the delivery of care. This is our goal. Empowerment begins as we nurture our student midwives while they learn. We also need to help in the growth and development of all other midwives that come our way.

So, it is through the teaching and support provided by the midwives and the knowlegde and direction provided by the doctors that together we nurture the women to learn and to trust in their innate abilties. We are all team players and it is this team effort the makes Kalgoorlie so special and opens the way for what really makes our SECRET MIDWIVES BUSINESS.
