Professional Indemnity & Public Liability Insurance for Midwives
Reliable protection for midwives providing continuous, patient-centred care across diverse clinical settings
Midwives provide specialist care across pregnancy, labour, and the postnatal period, often within varied and fast-moving clinical environments. Midwives may work across hospitals, birth centres, and community-based services, requiring strong clinical capability, sound judgement, and the ability to adapt as each situation evolves.
Given the nature of maternity care, even the most experienced midwives can be exposed to unforeseen complications, concerns, or formal complaints. NurseWise offers AHPRA-compliant tailored Professional Indemnity (PI) and Public Liability (PL) insurance, helping you navigate these risks with confidence and clarity.
