Change is constant in healthcare - and so is our commitment to improvement.

As Queensland’s largest for-purpose network of public and private hospitals, Mater cares for almost 700,000 patients every year, and one in five Queenslanders is born at a Mater hospital.

From world-leading research to life-affirming community programs, and as Queensland’s largest non-government health educator, we’re here to deliver best-in-class care for every stage of life.

Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1906, our Mission remains the same: to provide compassionate care to those who need it most.

Today, that promise is stronger than ever.

Because good enough is never good enough. We all deserve better. Get better with Mater.
