About the Hospital:

North Canberra Hospital (formerly Calvary Public Hospital Bruce) and Clare Holland House are now run and operated by Canberra Health Services (CHS)

This is a significant milestone as the ACT Government moves towards delivering a new billion-dollar hospital on Canberra’s Northside.

The current North Canberra Hospital is a level 4 hospital that provides a range of acute and sub-acute services including community based care to the residents of the northside of Canberra and Southern NSW.   North Canberra Hospital (NCH) is a 270 public hospital located in Canberra’s expanding northside. North Canberra Hospital operates a 24 hour Emergency Department. Inpatient services include general medicine, surgery, maternity, mental health and critical care.

Other service modalities include day surgery, specialist outpatient clinics, Hospital in the Home and the Geriatric Rapid Acute Care Evaluation service that reaches into aged care facilities across the ACT.

The new Northside Hospital will be built on the existing Calvary Hospital campus in Bruce. It will be a modern, state-of-the-art hospital for patients, visitors and its workforce and will provide more beds and increased services. Until then, it's business as usual at the NCH, and we'll keep providing high-quality care to our patients and community.

About the role:

This is a temporary full time (1.0FTE) position working directly to the Executive Director Women & Children at North Canberra Hospital.    The initial temporary contract is for six months with a possibility of an extension.    In collaboration with key stakeholders, the Project Officer will lead the planning and implementation of the expansion of the Continuity of Midwifery Program at NCH to include an all-risk model of care. This project will align with the recommendations of the Maternity in Focus: The ACT Public Maternity System Plan 2022 - 2032 of increasing Continuity of care by 50% by 2028 and 75% of women having access by 2032.   

North Canberra Hospital is a major general hospital with level 4 role delineation. The hospital supports a broad range of acute and sub-acute services including community based services to the Northside of ACT and Southern NSW. 

North Canberra Hospital provides maternity & gynaecology services to women in the ACT.  These services include antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care, gynaecology, neonatal special care nursery support and domiciliary care.    

Currently at North Canberra Hospital a low-risk Continuity of Midwifery Care model is provided to 480 women per year (approximately 23% of the women accessing maternity services at NCH).    Women with risk factors in their pregnancy cannot access this model of care and are cared for by the Maternity Core Team with limited continuity.   All women regardless of complexity benefit from having Continuity of care from a midwife.
