Mater is a for-purpose private hospital group, bringing together health, education, research and philanthropy to improve outcomes for communities across Queensland and beyond.
At the heart of Mater’s national profile is Mater Mothers—Australia’s largest women’s health service, the nation’s largest private maternity provider and Queensland’s largest provider of publicly funded maternity care. Across its hospitals, Mater Mothers supports more than 12,000 births, 2,000 nursery admissions, 61,000 occupied bed days and 120,000 outpatient occasions of service each year.
This scale is powered by more than 750 nurses and midwives, 70 employed medical officers, 60 Visiting Medical Officers and a comprehensive multidisciplinary workforce, integrating obstetrics, gynaecology, neonatal care, education and research.
Mater Research is one of Australia’s most successful hospital-embedded research institutes, with 300 hospital-based clinicians and researchers working to improve outcomes in the fields of mother and baby health, cancer, neuroscience, healthcare delivery and innovation, and chronic and integrated care.
In 2026, Mater expanded its services into Springfield and the Gold Coast—two of Australia’s fastest-growing communities—extending more than a century of trusted, compassionate care to even more women, babies and families across Australia and the Asia-Pacific.
