Hospitals

Mater Health Services is more than just a group of hospitals; it is part of Queensland’s heritage and an icon for our growing community.

An important Ministry of the Sisters of Mercy, Mater Health Services provides quality health care through three public (Mater Adult Hospital, Mater Mothers’ Hospital and Mater Children’s Hospital) and four private (Mater Private Hospital Brisbane, Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital, Mater Children’s Private Hospital and Mater Private Hospital Redland) hospitals.

Since the first hospital opened in 1906, the Sisters of Mercy and Mater’s staff have upheld the philosophy of providing health care for the sick and needy, and applying the values of mercy, dignity, care, commitment and quality to their work.

In 2007, Mater saw 88,698 patients through our three emergency departments, delivered 8628 babies, provided outpatient services for another 468,583 people and performed 33,092 theatre cases.

But those are just the numbers. The real story begins and ends with the exceptional people who deliver exceptional care on a daily basis.
