Proud to partner with John Holland, Dulux Australia , Mater and all project stakeholders in delivering a facility that supports both community health and more sustainable construction practices.

Forty years ago, at Mater Private Hospital Mackay, admin officer Linda Caruana went into early labour at 29 weeks.

Fortunately, her friends and midwife colleagues Karen Wade and Janet Ezzy were working and helped safely deliver her daughter Angela who weighed just 960 grams.

Reminiscing on the unexpected birth, Mater Private Hospital Mackay General Manager Karen Wade said everyone’s training kicked into gear.

“I’m a special care trained nurse, and Janet was great in labour wards, so it was a good skill mix that night and a great outcome for Linda and her new daughter.”
