Mater Mothers' Hospital is Australia’s largest maternity care provider, is home to Australia's largest single site neonatal intensive care unit, Queensland’s first purpose built 24/7 Pregnancy Assessment Centre and has the nation’s only team performing regular open fetal spinal surgery, a testament to our pioneering spirit and commitment to improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
The NICU at Mater Mothers at South Brisbane is unique in that it combines perinatal medical care, including the care of extremely preterm infants, with the care of babies with cardiac or surgical conditions.
Every year, more than 1,700+ very ill and premature babies receive intensive, round-the-clock specialist care in Mater’s Neonatal Critical Care Unit (NCCU).
