Australian College of Midwives

Australian College of Midwives

The Australian College of Midwives (ACM) is a professional organisation representing midwives and midwifery policy in Australia.[1]

ACM was founded nationally in 1984, when midwifery associations in a number of states and territories came together to create a national body for Australian midwives.

ACM is a federated body consisting of at least one branch in each State and Territory that make up the National College.[citation needed] The national office is based in Ultimo, New South Wales, Australia.

ACM is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors, with the organisation’s operations led by CEO Helen White from the national office. The midwifery advisory team is headed by Chief Midwife Alison Weatherstone.[2]
