For more than 100 years the Mater has been committed to providing compassionate health care to all Queenslanders with an emphasis on the founding values of the Sisters of Mercy of dignity, mercy, care, commitment and quality.
Mater Foundation is the philanthropic and community arm of Mater Health Services and the Mater Medical Research Institute, harnessing corporate, community and individual support to Mater; to help ensure the half a million babies, children and adults treated in our hospitals each year, have access to exceptional care.
Funds raised through the Mater Lotteries and donations received by the Mater Foundation fund the purchase of life-saving medical equipment and improve patient facilities, ensure Mater’s world-renowned research team continues to find better ways to diagnose, treat and ultimately cure life-threatening diseases, and develops important health care projects which address unmet community needs.
