The professional development workshop gave these midwives an opportunity to enhance their knowledge skills and be inspired to let every birth be the best birth possible.

For Michelle it had been 10 years since she graduated from CQUniversity, Rachel graduated 5 years ago, while Peta and Bronwyn graduated 6 months ago.

All were pleased with their chosen vocation saying it was a privilege to be involved in this special time in people's lives.

The CQUniversity Graduate Diploma of Midwifery had provided them with a strong foundation to further progress their career in Midwifery.

They saw that being involved in The Better Birth Workshop, that was facilitated by Lynne Staff and Vicki Chan, was another opportunity to learn from experienced midwives.

Lynne and Vicki provide workshop around the country for midwives, childbirth educators, doctors and others who care about women, babies, and birth.
