i have decided in 2011 i would like to go to uni to study midwifery but have a few concerns/questions i hope you guys can help with:

- as far as i can see its only curtin that offers a straight midwifery course, is this correct? also ive *heard* its very hard to get into, my TER was 82 but do they use my TER if im now considered mature age student ? (im 23)

im wondeing maybe i should do a nursing course first 3 yrs then 1 yr midwifery rather than the 3 yr midwifery course?

also do you get any govt support...do they do austudy if yor already on a single parent pension, or do you get the choice of having a HECS debt?

DD will be about 20 months by the time i would start, do you think this is too young for me to be putting her into part/full time daycare?

agh so confusing!!
TIA
