New Birthing Suites

Our luxurious and spacious new birthing suites have been created with mothers and their families at the heart of their design to provide a relaxed and calming environment. The ensuites include adjustable double shower heads for relaxation or to massage specific areas of pain, such as the lower back. Spacious baths in three ensuites provide deep water immersion as a natural option for the management of pain during labour.

The Special Care Nursery is for babies who need a little bit of extra care after birth. The Mater is the only private hospital in Sydney with a Level 4 SCN, and is staffed by a full time Neonatologist and neonatal intensive care trained nurses, featuring private rooms and family-centred care.

FAQ

As soon as your pregnancy has been confirmed and you have booked with one of our Obstetricians, you can then make a booking with the hospital via our Online Booking Form.
This will vary based on your health fund and level of cover. We recommend getting in touch with your health fund and asking the following questions: 
  1. Do I have any waiting periods?
  2. Do I need to change my level of cover to ensure my baby is covered if admitted to the Special Care Nursery?
  3. Do I (or my baby) have an excess or co-payment on my level of cover?
  4. Are there any other financial gaps?
  5. Are there any exclusions on my level of cover?
All our postnatal rooms have a fold out bed so that couples can stay together as a family unit, sharing the special moments of your baby’s first days. Partner meals can be ordered through room service at an additional cost.
We also have double suites which  incur an additional cost of $110 per day and  include a double bed and all partner meals. This is not refundable by any health funds.  Family rooms cannot be booked advance.
This may vary depending on the patient but typically patients who give birth naturally will stay for 4-5 days and patients who have a Caesarean section will stay for 5-6 days.
