The standards and Criteria for the Accreditation of Nursing and Midwifery Courses Leading to Registration states that midwives in Australia are expected to have experience of actual or simulated episiotomy and perineal suturing.

The European Union and Article 40 (training of midwives) of Directive 2005/36/EU (Pre-registration midwifery): … performance of episiotomy and initiation into suturing. Initiation shall include theoretical instruction and clinical practice. The practice of suturing includes suturing of the wound following an episiotomy and a simple perineal laceration. This may be in a simulated situation if absolutely necessary.
