Abstract
In 2017, the Australian Midwifery Standards Assessment Tool (AMSAT), the first national valid, reliable and acceptable midwifery
assessment tool was developed and published. This assessment tool was designed to enable consistent assessment of midwifery student to meet the Australian competency standards for the midwife, which were originally released in 2006. Approximately six universities began using AMSAT. In 2018 the new Midwife standards for practice were released and AMSAT has been revised and validated. There has been great interest nationally in the new AMSAT, with more than 12 universities planning to use it in 2019 and beyond.
