About
Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a Registered Midwife, and I've been a Scenic Rim local for 15 years.
After birthing and working within the mainstream maternity systems, I noticed the significant gap in options available to women and families in my local community, compared to women living in Brisbane or the Gold Coast. This gap becomes more obvious to me as I support families arriving to hospital for the birth of their baby, and they weren't even aware there were options to begin with.
The evidence is clear that continuity of care (having a midwife that you know), improves outcomes and experiences.
The reality in Australia in 2025, is less than 12% of families having a baby, had a midwife that they knew (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2026) - we can do better.
I started Scenic Rim Midwifery with the goal of increasing the options, and providing women and families with midwifery care that is holistic, judgement-free, evidence-based and trauma-informed.
Women and families deserve to be supported and heard
