Mater Mothers ‘ Public Hospital

General Information:

The Mater Mothers' Hospital, South Brisbane, is one of the largest and busiest maternity and women's health hospitals in Australia. The 126-bed Hospital provides care for more than 4,800 mothers and babies every year. Gynaecology services are also provided for women of all ages. Gynaecology oncology services are currently provided at the adjacent Mater Adult Hospital, in its Oncology Unit.

Mater Mothers’ Hospital and Mater Adult Hospital are both tertiary referral hospitals and teaching hospitals for medical, nursing, and allied health professions, and they are involved continuously with international research projects.

Women requiring gynaecology services may be admitted for day surgery or longer hospital stays at the Mater Mothers’ Hospital. For gynaecology oncology services, women usually have their surgical stay in the Mater Adult Hospital and are generally treated as an outpatient in the Day Oncology Unit for their chemotherapy. As well, the Mater Urogynaecology Unit specialises in helping women with bladder and pelvic floor dysfunction.

Meeting the needs of the family is a priority for the Sisters of Mercy, founders and leaders of the Mater Misericordia Health Services. Reg Leonard House, situated close to the Mater, offers home-like accommodation in 17 units and one self-contained cottage for patients from outside Brisbane who wish to have family stay nearby whilst they access health services on the Mater complex, including the Queensland Radium Institute. The Mater Hospitals provide public health services to all women and their families, regardless of race, religion, or marital status.

The Mater Mothers' Hospital and Mater Adult Hospital are part of the Mater Misericordia Health Services, which also include Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital, Mater Children's Hospital, Mater Children's Private Hospital, Mater Private Hospital, Mater Private Hospital - Redland, and Mater Medical Research Institute.
