Midwifery Council Of New Zealand

Nestled in the heart of Wellington, the Midwifery Council Of New Zealand has been a trusted beacon of care and support for expectant and new mothers since 2004. As a council, we are not just midwives; we are advocates, guides, and companions on life's most transformative journey. We believe in the power of nurturing, respecting, and empowering every woman as she embarks on the beautiful adventure of childbirth and motherhood. Our story began two decades ago with a commitment to upholding the highest standards of midwifery practice, fostering an environment where New Born Care is not just a profession, but a sacred duty. We strive to provide labour support that goes beyond medical expertise, offering emotional reassurance, guidance, and encouragement at every step. We are more than just registrars; we are the issuers of Practising Certificates, ensuring the safety and well-being of both the mothers and their little ones. Our role extends to safeguarding the health and safety of our communities, continuously monitoring and adapting our practices to meet the evolving needs of modern motherhood. We take great pride in approving educational programs that nurture the next generation of midwives, instilling in them a deep respect for the sacred bond between mother and child. Yet, our commitment doesn't end there. We stand ready to take disciplinary actions when necessary, upholding the integrity and professionalism that our profession demands. In essence, we are a community of midwives, bound by shared values and dedicated to serving the women of New Zealand. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey, where every birth is celebrated, every challenge overcome, and every mother supported every step of the way. Welcome to the Midwifery Council Of New Zealand - your partners in nurturing life.
