Article Synopsis
- * It reveals that only 52% of those identifying as midwives are actively practicing, with most practitioners being older, female, Australian, and working part-time in hospitals.
- * The research identifies gaps in the workforce such as a lack of Indigenous midwives and qualified educators, providing a clearer picture of the current situation for informed future planning.

Method: An electronic survey was developed using Graduate e-Cohort Pro and administered to key midwifery academics who had responsibility for 38 curricula leading to initial midwifery registration in Australia.
Findings: Engagement of midwifery academics in the survey was high with a response rate of 82%.
