Accommodation
For over 35 years Mookai Rosie Bi-Bayan has provided a healthy and caring environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children attending medical treatment in Cairns.
Mookai Rosie offers accommodation services to women and children of the Torres and Cape, offering a home away from home that has the health of you and your family central to everything we do, every day. Our accommodation facility houses 24 women and 12 children and provides a safe and comfortable place for our clients to stay.
Mookai Rosie honours and respects the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures which inform all our work, ensuring each woman is treated with care and dignity. We want you to feel at home and supported while you are in Cairns and we provide a range of services while you are staying with us.
