About Mater

A Catholic not-for-profit ministry of Mercy Partners, Mater is guided by the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy who first established Mater in 1906 when they built the first Mater Private Hospital. This was the start of a tradition of care and compassion for the sick and needy that continues to inspire us today.

Mater is Queensland’s largest and most innovative not-for-profit healthcare service, providing care for nearly 700,000 patients annually across a network of 11 public and private hospitals. Above all else, we are dedicated to delivering quality, compassionate care and are committed to supporting our exceptional workforce, who are at the heart of everything we do, in achieving this ambition. Our Mission and Values guide us in providing a sustainable and socially purposeful service that meets the needs of our communities.
