About
Through a network of healthcare resources featuring seven hospitals, more than 6,000 staff and a commitment to excellence, Mater Health Services provides care for some half-a-million people each year.
The Mater was established in 1906 by the Sisters of Mercy. In 2002, Mater Health Services became an incorporated body, charged with the responsibility to continue the Mission of the Sisters of Mercy to “offer compassionate service to the sick and needy”.
Our history is reflective of the commitment by the Sisters of Mercy and now the Board of Directors and Management Team of Mater Health Services to provide education, training and research in the core clinical areas of Mater.
Our Values
Mater staff are dedicated to providing highest quality healthcare services, through a sincere commitment to the Mater's core values of Mercy, Dignity, Care, Commitment and Quality. Using these values as a guide for our interactions with our patients and their families, each other and our business partners, Mater staff promote the professionalism and care that has been a part of the Mater since its beginnings.

Each person we encounter in our working day deserves our respect; patients, visitors, co-workers.
