Birth Attendance Log

The ANMC Standards and Criteria for the Accreditation of Nursing and Midwifery Courses Leading to Registration, Enrolment, Endorsement and Authorisation in Australia(2009)requires midwifery students tocomplete a minimum of twenty (20) continuity of care experiences prior to registration regardless of the length of a course.

An important part of the continuity of care experience is the need for the School to keep an accurate record of any student attendance at a birth outside of topic-related Professional Experience Placement shifts. It is your responsibility to provide this information to the Universityto ensure that a record is available in the event of insurance claims or legal investigations which may occur well beyond your course of study.

This form relates specifically to your attendance at the labour and birthing of the women you have recruited for your continuity of care experience.

Please complete a single application for each birth you attend, typing the required information for legibility. This confidential information will be stored in the Professional Experience Placement Unit.
