Background: Recognition and understanding of First Nations peoples history and culture and the impact this has on the health and wellbeing of women and their families is essential if the midwife is to promote culturally safe and respectful maternity care. The role and responsibilities of the midwife in ensuring that their practice is culturally safe are now reflected in the Australian professional midwifery codes and standards.

Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and organise the results. Results: Thematic analysis, guided by two predetermined review questions led to the identification of six overarching themes: ‘Awareness of deficiencies’, ‘The importance of meeting women’s diverse needs’, ‘Understanding relationships as a foundation for culturally safe care’, ‘Working in partnership with others’, ‘Providing individualised care’ and ‘Fostering effective relationships and communication’.
