The Midwifery Act was proclaimed on June 12, 2000, and is the means by which the autonomous profession of midwifery in Manitoba is regulated. The Midwifery Act defines midwives as ‘primary health care providers’ with a specified area and scope of practice. The Act also establishes a self-regulating governing body known as the College of Midwives of Manitoba. One of the main functions of the College is protection of the public by ensuring that midwives follow the standards of midwifery practice.

The College is made up of members whose names appear on the registers specified by the legislation, and who have paid the fees provided for in the By-law. These are:

• Register of Practicing Midwives
• Register of Non-Practising Midwives
• Register of Students

The Council of the College is the executive body empowered to manage and run the business and affairs of the College. The Council is comprised of elected members and appointed public representatives. The Midwifery Act requires the College to appoint an independent committee to select the public representatives. This Committee acts at arms-length from the College, and determines its own selection criteria.
