Getting a midwife job as an Australian

Hi, I'm an Australian midwife, and i would love to move to Aotearoa New Zealand, and i need to know if i could work there.

I understand the legalities, it's more the practical everyday experience.

I spent my first few years of registration at a very high acuity hospital in the birth suite working very closely with obstetricians while also looking after some low-risk midwifery-led births. I also delivered extremely prem bubs, and cared for very ill mothers and babies. So while i love physiological birth i am also very experienced at very medical situations.

I don't know if ill ever be comfortable at 'birth centres' or home births, just due to my experiences.

Do you think there is there a place for me in Aotearoa New Zealand as a midwife?
