Ovarian cancer care demands specialist expertise, cutting‑edge research and deeply compassionate support.

At Mater, our multidisciplinary teams walk alongside patients at every stage — from diagnosis, through treatment, and into survivorship. As one of Queensland’s leading centres for gynaecological cancer care and research, we support more than 130 women every year.

This Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we stand with patients, families and survivors, raise awareness of the signs, and continue driving progress toward better outcomes.

Mater social worker Jodie Roberts has returned to her role in the Advocacy and Protection Unit at South Brisbane after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer.

Thirteen months ago, Jodie was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer — a life‑changing moment she says she could not have faced without the unwavering support of her social work colleagues, who became a pillar of strength throughout her treatment.

After receiving care from Mater’s gynaecological oncology team, Jodie is now sharing her story during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month to help raise awareness of the disease and the symptoms that are often overlooked.

Each year, more than 1,800 women in Australia are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer — and too often, the symptoms are overlooked or dismissed as simply “not feeling right.”

Dr Nisha Jagasia, Gynaecological Oncologist at Mater Private Hospital Brisbane, shares her insights to help women feel more confident recognising the early signs and seeking care sooner.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 👩‍🎓 🔬 🩺

Today we celebrate the women whose talent, resilience and curiosity are driving scientific discovery and inspiring the next generation to follow.

Mater Research is proud of the progress being made, however the global gender gap remains clear. Women represent just:
👩‍🎓 35 per cent of STEM graduates
🔬 1 in 3 researchers
💼 22 per cent of the STEM workforce
🏆 and only 10 per cent of STEM leaders.

Our Story

Mater is guided by the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy who first established Mater in 1906 when they built the first Mater Private Hospital. This was the start of a tradition of care and compassion for the sick and needy that continues to inspire us today.

Mater Group was formed in 2016 by aligning Mater Health, Mater Education, Mater Research and Mater Foundation under a single, unified banner. It has enabled us to combine our services and skills across Mater's ministries to deliver innovative solutions and take new opportunities as we adapt to the changing needs of our community. An entirely privately owned and operated charitable company, Mater remains committed to its Mission and reinvests any revenue from the business back into the provision of health services for the community.
