Mookai Midwives offers midwife-led care for eligible women.

This means a midwife will coordinate your care. Our midwives work closely with our GP Obstetricians, midwife and nurse navigators, and our Social and Emotional Well-being team to ensure women with complex needs are well supported throughout their pregnancy and the early days after bub is born.

Mookai Midwives are available for all Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander families from rural and remote communities throughout the Cape York, NPA and Torres Strait Island regions whilst they are in Cairns. This includes non-Indigenous women who are pregnant with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander baby.

Please call 07 4081 7500 to make an appointment.

Birth Attendants

Mookai Rosie is proud to offer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditional birth attendant and doula services for our clients. The birth attendants work alongside our midwives and can accompany you to the hospital for pregnancy checks, your birth and the days after bub is born.
Our care continues after your discharge from the hospital and we help you transition back to your home community. We also offer a bus service for clients who require assistance getting to their appointments.
We encourage all eligible clients to see our midwives for new worries, pregnancy and postnatal checks, and opportunistic health checks whilst in Cairns.
Mookai Midwives accept clients referred by Community Clinics, Apunipima, the RFDS, Child Safety and Queensland Health, and supports access and referrals to visiting Allied Health professionals and specialist services. You can also book an appointment with our midwifery team without a referral.
