As we light the final candle of Advent, we embrace the heart of the season, Love.
It’s the love that inspired the Sisters of Mercy to care for the vulnerable, and the same love that drives every Mater staff member today.

This Christmas, let love be more than a feeling — let it be an action. A donation, a kind word, a shared smile.

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.
