Who We Are
Located near the breathtaking Waitakere Ranges and the scenic west Auckland beaches, Waitakere Hospital provides primary maternity and secondary obstetric services to the diverse West Auckland community. Last year, our dedicated team supported over 3,000 births, delivering expert care to women from 32 weeks gestation onward. Our state-of-the-art facility includes a 12-bed Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU), and we work closely with Lead Maternity Carers (LMCs), offering you the chance to be involved in a high volume of deliveries.
Why Choose Waitakere Maternity?
We’re seeking experienced Registered Midwives (with at least two years of experience) to become key members of our team.
