Mater’s new Health Hub

Mater Health Hub Springfield Central, located at Southern Cross Circuit, will deliver a suite of medical specialties and a range of allied health services focused on women and families.

It will also be home to Mater Education campus, complete with state-of-the-art classrooms and simulation labs.

Mater has been part of the Greater Springfield community since 2015 when it opened Mater Private Hospital Springfield, but population expansion and rapid growth in the region calls for expanded healthcare services.

The hospital development includes an Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit and Mater Mothers’ nationally acclaimed maternity services and will deliver 228 beds for public and private patients.

Mater Health Hub Springfield, is designed to complement existing services in the community and is responding to increasing consumer demand for greater access to health and wellbeing services outside a clinical setting.

The new facility will house consultancy suites for a wide range of specialties including Anaesthetics, Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Gynaecology, Endocrinology, Maxillofacial, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Plastics, Respiratory, Urology and Vascular.

Other services delivered by Mater’s Health Integration and Community Care team will offer a range of allied health services specifically focused on mothers and babies, women’s health, cancer care, chronic disease management and healthy ageing.

For the first time, Mater Education will deliver the Diploma of Nursing course in Springfield – fee-free in October 2023 – along with several career-ready certifications and qualifications.

Dedicated to growing the next generation of healthcare workers, Mater Education is Australia’s only nationally accredited, independent, hospital-based Registered state-of-the-art simulation technologies.

Students of Mater Education’s 18-month Diploma of Nursing course will gain hands-on real-life experience during placements at the nearby Mater Private Hospital Springfield.
