Welcome to the New Zealand College of Midwives Canterbury West Coast Region website.

We are the Canterbury West Coast Region branch of the New Zealand College of Midwives, the professional organisation and recognised voice for midwives and student midwives in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our region is a member-led community dedicated to supporting, connecting, and advocating for midwives and maternity care across Canterbury and the West Coast. We work to strengthen our profession through leadership, collaboration, education, research, and shared learning, while ensuring members’ voices are represented locally and nationally.

The Canterbury West Coast Regional Committee is committed to equity in all aspects of its work, as outlined in its Strategic Plan. In keeping with this, decisions about promoting resources with a commercial component are guided by specific criteria: we will only promote a resource if it has been developed by the population it intends to support, addresses an under-served population within maternity care, and is not otherwise freely available.

This website is your gateway to regional information, events, meetings, education and research opportunities, and ways to connect with others in your profession. We invite you to explore the site, stay connected, and reach out if you would like to contribute or learn more.
