Finding a midwife

first thing to figure out is where you want to give birth. not sure of the situation down there but in auckland, midwives work out of a particular maternity unit so that limits who you can go with. i then looked at their preferences eg hospital, water, home? you want someone that agrees with your method of birth, not pushing their preferred method. i then went on feel, went with the one i felt comfy with. your local doctor should be able to helpyou with a list of midwifes then search them online, they often have profiles you can read. remember you can always change if you're not happy with your first chioce.
