2013 Midwifery Workforce Survey
The midwifery workforce survey is collected from all midwives who apply for a midwifery practising
certificates. Most of these are during the annual practising certificate renewal period.
The 2013 survey is for midwives who held a current midwifery annual practising certificate on
25 October 2013. At that date there were 2,938 midwives with a current practising certificate. The survey,
for the second time, was completed online.
Survey responses were obtained for all but 5 of the current midwives. The 5 missing responses were caused
by some errors in the application process.
Some limited data was able to be included for completeness for the 5 midwives where there was no survey
response, either from the Register of Midwives (e.g. age and gender) or from surveys completed in previous
years (e.g. years in the workforce). Any survey questions where the midwife’s current situation could not be
known with certainty were recorded as ‘Not reported’.
This report sets out the survey questions and gives the response in table and chart form.

make up 89.5% of the workforce. The percentage of midwives who give New Zealand Maori as their
first ethnicity is 5.1% (151). The percentage of midwives who give New Zealand Maori as their first,
second, or third ethnicity is 8.7% (255).

completed a formal qualification in the last year. 107 of these (44.2%) reported completing a Bachelors
degree. These would be mainly new graduate midwives. The next most common completed

Figure 11: First, second, and third DHB work area
NOTE – The Council considers that the reported figures for the number of midwives working in the
TLA areas and DHB areas in the Auckland region are unreliable to some extent. This is due to the
amalgamation of a number of Auckland TLAs into one super city, the order in which the TLAs were
presented for selection on the dropdown list in the online form, and the wording of the question.
It is likely that the number of midwives reported working in the Auckland TLA / DHB area is
overstated and the numbers reported working in the Counties Manukau and Waitemata DHB areas
are understated.
The survey question and the TLA selection list have both been re-worded. This should produce more
reliable results but not until the 2014 survey year.
