Apply for funding
The next step for you will be to apply for the Complex Care postgraduate education funding. Health Workforce New Zealand funds the Complex Care pathway for up to 100 hours’ release time for core midwives, or locum cover for LMCs to complete practical placement requirements.
Your funding application is separate from your study application – you need to apply for funding through the New Zealand College of Midwives.
