The mother is accused of being party to all but one of the charges.
Their children are 6, 4 and 1.
The incidents allegedly occurred inside their own home and near a river between May 2017 and May 2018, reported the Townsville Bulletin.
The mother and father cannot be named for legal reasons.
Judge Williams Everson dismissed an application to try the parents separately after hearing an application at court on Friday.
But he granted the couple separate hearings to ensure there would be no bias against either parent.
