The Midwives and Nurses published in the Victorian Government Gazettes were cumbersome to find and search but through the work of dedicated volunteers the association has provided PDFs to facilitate access to these records.
Read about what one can expect to find in the registers and learn how to access the
Midwives Registers: 1916-1956 and the Nurses Registers: 1925-1956
