Coming to hospital

During your stay with us, our midwives and nurses will provide education and information to enable you to confidently care for yourself and your baby in preparation for going home. While at Mater Mothers’ Private Brisbane, you will have 24 hour access to our expert, caring midwives, nurses and clinical support team at the press of a button. Baby care assistants are also on hand to assist you and your partner with settling your baby during the night.

There are a range of informative talks and classes available daily for you to attend during your stay with us. Your midwife or nurse will let you know where and when these classes are happening. We recommend that you attend as many as you can.

During the final stages of your pregnancy, we highly recommend that you and your support person take time to familiarise yourselves with our hospital and where to go.
