2025 Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards - Excellence in Person Centred Care – Team Award

A holistic, patient-centred approach to Midwifery has seen our outstanding Derby Maternity Team named a finalist at this year’s WA Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards.

The team is in the running for the Excellence in Person Centred Care award in recognition of its ongoing commitment to exceptional service delivery and patient safety.

Providing clinical support for women, babies, and families in Derby, Fitzroy Crossing, and surrounding communities, the team delivers comprehensive care throughout the antenatal, post-natal, labour, and delivery phases.

By providing midwifery staff with the best possible education – through preceptorship, orientation, and supervision – the team continues to deliver the highest standards of healthcare.

Their compassionate, empathetic, and communicative approach ensures expectant mothers are empowered with knowledge and confidence in a supportive and culturally safe environment.

Working alongside local Aboriginal women and their families, the team has a track record of building relationships based on trust, respect, and a deep understanding of culture and individual needs.

Their dedication extends beyond clinical care, including actively engaging and collaborating with other local healthcare providers.

The Derby Maternity Team has created a cohesive network of comprehensive support not only in Derby, but through surrounding communities, ensuring all woman have access to quality midwifery care.
