Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton

As the season of Advent begins, we light the first candle as a symbol of Hope.
At Mater, hope shines through the courage of every patient, the dedication of every staff member, and the generosity of every supporter.

This Christmas, we reflect on the hope that unites us — the hope for healing, for compassion, and for a brighter future.

It was on 14 November 1914 that the Sisters of Mercy first purchased Kenmore House and transformed it into Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton.

Over the past 11 decades, our services locally have grown and evolved - but one thing that hasn't changed is the compassion behind our care.

Happy anniversary, Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton!

On Monday 17 November – World Prematurity Day, Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton will celebrate the incredible journey of their tiniest patients and the dedicated midwives who cared for them. 💜

Join them for a special morning tea in the Tamarind Room (Kenmore Building) at 9am on Monday, where mums and their little ones who spent time in the hospital’s Special Care Nursery can reconnect with the amazing Mater People who were there with them from the very beginning.

They’d love to see how much your little miracles have grown!

👉 Comment below if you’re planning to come along so we can prepare for a beautiful morning together.

Today on we pause to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service, remember those who have come home injured or ill, in body or spirit and acknowledge those who bravely serve our country today.

🧠 Advancing spine care in Central Queensland
