Elevating care and advancing capabilities
The $70 million Priority Pathways plan at Mater Private Hospital Brisbane is transforming patient care through upgraded infrastructure and expanded services.
Co-designed with clinicians, the project is delivering a new, expanded Coronary Care Unit and two new Cardiovascular Units as well as an upgraded private Intensive Care Unit.
In addition, the plan includes three new operating theatres, two new endoscopy suites and a new wing of premium suites for private inpatients offering hotel-style comfort and privacy in a hospital care setting.
The Priority Pathways plan is setting a new benchmark in clinical capability and patient care at Mater Private Hospital South Brisbane, ensuring we are meeting the needs of the community today – while continuing to build for the future.
The first phases of the Priority Pathways plan are nearing completion
