About us:
Our Maternity Services provide a full continuum of care across antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal and newborn services. Midwives may work in Antenatal clinics (inpatient and outpatient), Birth Suite, Postnatal wards, Community and home visiting services, and Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) models.
We are committed to woman-centred, family-focused care. Our services include both standard and continuity of care models, supporting women to build trusting therapeutic relationships with their midwives throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service employ over 300 midwives across 4 birthing facilities and 1 non-birthing facility.
Care is offered in both continuity and non-continuity models of care. These units care for women living within the CHHHS area also providing basic birthing care for women travelling from the Cape and Torres regions. Cairns Hospital provided complex care for women within the CHHHS and the Torres and Cape area.
Being a level 5 hospital, most complex pregnancies and newborn care is undertaken here with very premature or significantly unwell babies transferred to Townsville and Brisbane for further care.

- Provide safe, high-quality midwifery care across the full scope of practice.
- Deliver antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care in inpatient, outpatient, community or home settings as required.
- Undertake full episode of care responsibilities when working within a continuity of care model (e.g. MGP).

- Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to achieve optimal maternal and neonatal outcomes.
