Midwifery Regulatory Council of Nova Scotia

The Midwifery Regulatory Council of Nova Scotia (MRCNS), established in 2009, is the sole regulator of midwives in the province, dedicated to ensuring high standards of midwifery care for pregnant individuals and their families. With a mission focused on public safety, the Council sets and maintains practice standards, licenses qualified practitioners, and enforces a strict Code of Ethics for the profession.

MRCNS operates under a legislated mandate to protect the public interest while promoting competent midwifery practices and ethical conduct. The Council is comprised of various members, including midwives, public representatives, and a physician, and meets quarterly to uphold its commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and reconciliation in midwifery care.
