Our commitment to our
Mission, Vision and Values

Our founders, the Sisters of Mercy, opened the first Mater hospital in Queensland in 1906 to provide compassionate care to those in need.
More than a century later, Mater is proud to be continuing their legacy with 11 hospitals delivering high-quality healthcare to people across North, Central and South-East Queensland.
As Queensland has grown and developed over the past 100 years, so too has Mater—and we have made history along the way.
