Modernizing maternity care: Tackling training challenges across Queensland

Midwives are the backbone of safe maternity care, yet the clinical landscape is rapidly evolving. To provide the highest quality care, midwives must be supported to work to their full scope of practice. However, providing consistent, high-quality professional development across a vast geographical area like Queensland presents significant logistical challenges. There is a continuous need for flexible, evidence-based tools that allow the workforce to learn, refresh, and refine clinical skills without disrupting the essential care they provide to families.

Location: Queensland, Australia

Institution: Goverment/Public Health

Global reach: 1,000 midwives state-wide

Statewide rollout: Bringing GynZone’s clinical suite to 1,000 midwives

To meet this need, Queensland Health has entered into a strategic partnership with GynZone. Throughout 2026, midwives across the state will gain access to GynZone’s suite of clinical training videos, hands-on repair techniques, quizzes, certificates, and blended-learning tools. The rollout provides clinicians with a suite of modern learning tools designed for the demands of a busy clinical environment, including:

High-definition clinical training videos focusing on hands-on repair techniques.
Interactive quizzes and certification to validate and track professional development.
Blended-learning sessions that combine digital theory with practical application.

By integrating these tools into the state’s healthcare framework, Queensland Health is ensuring that every midwife, whether in a major metropolitan hospital or a rural clinic, has the same access to world-class clinical education.

Elevating standards: Boosting patient outcomes and midwife retention

This partnership is a significant investment in the future of the maternity workforce. By equipping midwives with increased confidence and capability, the initiative aims to:

Improve Patient Outcomes: Ensuring the safest, highest-quality care for women and families across Queensland.
Workforce Retention: Supporting career-long learning and professional growth to maintain a strong, confident workforce.
Standardized Excellence: Creating a unified gold standard for clinical skills and evidence-based practice state-wide.
