Jade's got your back — on the field and in the hospital. 🏉👩‍⚕️

Brisbane Lions AFLW defender Jade Ellenger joined Mater Private Hospital Springfield as a theatre nurse three months ago.

Since then, she's been balancing her healthcare career with her AFLW journey, and is now heading into the finals elimination rounds.

“It’s fantastic to see Jade’s passion and commitment on the field translate into the best care and outcomes for patients in the hospital,” Nurse Unit Manager Colleen Kelly said.

Australia is leading the world in the fight against cervical cancer – but Mater doctors are warning complacency about the disease is still needlessly claiming lives.

Mater runs the largest gynaecological oncology service in Queensland and as part of Cervical Cancer Awareness Week, we're urging women to ensure they are up-to-date with the screening appointments.

A special visit from the Dulux Australia Dog at the Mater Springfield Stage 2 site 💚

As part of Dulux Australia's Envirosolutions program, our team has been working with John Holland to recycle and return used paint pails from the project.

Mater Springfield currently holds the highest return rate to date, ensuring materials are responsibly reused rather than sent to landfill.

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.”

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.

Our Story

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 Group was formed in 2016 by aligning Mater Health, Mater Education, Mater Research and Mater Foundation under a single, unified banner. It has enabled us to combine our services and skills across Mater's ministries to deliver innovative solutions and take new opportunities as we adapt to the changing needs of our community. An entirely privately owned and operated charitable company, Mater remains committed to its Mission and reinvests any revenue from the business back into the provision of health services for the community.
