Private Midwives in Queensland
Private midwifery care in Queensland offers continuity of carer — the same midwife supporting you through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. With Queensland's large population and diverse birthing landscape, from major tertiary hospitals to regional facilities, private midwives provide a personalised alternative to standard hospital-based care.
Private midwifery across Queensland
Queensland has one of Australia's more established private midwifery sectors. Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast all have strong networks of privately practising midwives. In Brisbane, private midwives operate across the metropolitan area, and some have visiting access to hospitals including the Mater Mothers' Hospital and selected public facilities. The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast communities are also well served.
Regional Queensland — including Toowoomba, Townsville, Cairns, and Rockhampton — has a smaller but dedicated group of private midwives. The Queensland Government has also invested in publicly funded midwifery group practice (MGP) programs at many hospitals, which offer continuity of midwifery care at no cost, though these operate differently from fully private arrangements.
Homebirth with a privately practising midwife is an option in many parts of Queensland, particularly in South East Queensland. Several Queensland private midwives hold endorsement as Eligible Midwives, enabling Medicare rebates for their services and PBS prescribing rights.
What to consider when choosing a private midwife in Queensland
- Medicare eligibility: Check whether your midwife is an endorsed Eligible Midwife, which enables Medicare rebates for antenatal and postnatal care.
- Birth location: Clarify whether the midwife supports homebirth, has hospital visiting access, or provides antenatal/postnatal care only.
- Collaborative arrangements: Ensure there's a formal relationship with an obstetrician and hospital for referral if needed.
- Availability: Private midwives take limited bookings per month to ensure they're available for your birth. Book early — ideally in the first trimester.
- Postnatal care: Understand how many postnatal visits are included and over what timeframe.
Typical costs in Queensland
Private midwifery packages in Queensland generally range from $3,500 to $6,500 for comprehensive pregnancy-to-postnatal care. This typically includes all antenatal visits, on-call birth attendance, and postnatal home visits. Where the midwife is Medicare-eligible, rebates can offset $1,500 to $2,500 of this cost. Payment plans are commonly available. Some midwives offer antenatal-and-postnatal-only packages (without birth attendance) for $1,500 to $2,500.
