Mareeba Hospital is located at 21 Lloyd St, Mareeba QLD 4880. Their maternity service offers Midwifery Group Practice (MGP), where women are supported and cared for by the same midwives during their pregnancy, labour, birth and after birth for about 6-8 weeks. If your pregnancy is complicated, or if you need an obstetrician, the Mareeba Hospital midwives will offer your antenatal and postnatal care in consultation with the Cairns Hospital obstetric team.

The hospital may offer water immersion for labour and birth if appropriate. Mareeba’s maternity unit has 2 birth suites, and they will help you feel as comfortable as possible. After your birth and discharge, your midwife will arrange a visit to your home to provide care for 6 to 8 weeks.
