On July 1, Mater across the state legally merged as one, a move which a spokesperson said was the beginning of a new era as the state's largest Catholic not-for-profit healthcare provider.
The merger saw Mercy Health and Aged Care in Central Queensland, Mater Health Services in North Queensland, and the south-east's Mater Misericordiae Limited join forces.
Mater chief executive Peter Steer said connecting regions across the state will expand Mater's capability for impactful change across the organisation's work in health, education, research and the Mater Foundation.
"Bringing together collective expertise and services in health, education, research and foundation from across the state means we will welcome greater capacity for innovative ways of providing the highest standards of care," Dr Steer said.
"Since the Sisters of Mercy founded Mater in 1906, a long line of history has followed to consistently work to meet unmet community needs.
"We are deeply proud of our heritage and will continue to honour this legacy as we welcome an exciting step forward toward finding new ways to respond to the changing needs of the communities we serve."
