Mater's Group Strategy - Towards 2030 captures the essence of who we want to be: We make world-class healthcare accessible to all.
We respect our heritage and invest in our facilities, technology, people and sought-after partners. We are committed to solving the future healthcare needs of our communities.
This strategy positions Mater to achieve its vision-by modernising our operating model, amplifying our impact across Queensland and beyond through growth and specialisation, and advancing our Mission.
At its heart is a reaffirmation of our Mission - to continue the work of the Sisters of Mercy by addressing unmet healthcare needs and acting as custodians of the trusted and respected Mater brand.
Mater's Group Strategy:
- Outlines a roadmap to modernise our model, embed digital capability, and reset structures to enable decision-making closer to the point of care.
- Commits to magnifying our impact through service expansion, research leadership and strategic partnerships.
- Reaffirms our commitment to move our Mission forward by growing social enterprises addressing health inequities in vulnerable communities.
Mater's strategy has a five-year timeline, broken into three horizons to enable us to embed key initiatives and shared priorities across our subsidiaries to lay the foundations for growth before moving forward.
Over the span of our timeline, we will also embed key enablers that underpin our strategy. By enhancing workplace culture, updating data and technology, creating innovative partnerships and connecting with our communities, Mater will create sustainable change required to bring our strategy to life.
Our approach
One Mater, One Mission
We are moving from a collection of Ministries to a unified Mater Group, with a shared identity, purpose, and story. This unity will help us speak with one voice and deliver greater impact across our communities.
The need for change
Our environment is shifting - with rising expectations and increasing complexity. To meet these challenges, we must evolve together, unlocking the full potential of the Group and securing a sustainable future.
Strategic framework for impact
Our strategy is built on three pillars that will guide our transformation and ensure we deliver on our Mission in bold, enduring ways.
Clarity and consistency
Sharply defining our areas of specialisation and growth enables us to move ahead with clarity of purpose. Out Mission remains our 'why' with greater focus on delivering our social enterprises in new, innovative ways.
