“Over my 2 placements as a Travelling Midwife I have developed professionally and personally. Having previously only worked in Public Hospitals, the placements provided insights into the private sector. All of the travel arrangements were organised for me, including flights and accommodation. I just needed to pack my bag and go! I enjoyed exploring Hobart and Canberra. I would recommend anyone to do it, it’s so worth it.”

- Nicola, Travelling Midwife

"It has been amazing to be working for a company that not only appreciates my skills but encourages me to use them on a daily basis. I get to be myself every day which is not something some other companies have allowed me to do. Working for Calvary has reminded me that I am good at my job & that I'm not just a number. I am reminded daily that I am making a difference. I would recommend the program to all RN's who want a challenge, a chance to use their skills, make new lifelong friends & to see Australia.
