When you choose to have your baby at Mater Mothers’ Private Rockhampton, you will have access to comprehensive specialist care in a compassionate, nurturing environment as well as state-of-the art maternity facilities; so you can be rest assured that you and your family will receive world class personalised care before, during and after your baby is born.

One of the many benefits of private maternity care is the ability to choose your own specialist obstetrician to manage your pregnancy. This includes antenatal appointments, care during labour and delivery as well as postnatal follow up appointments.

Our team of experienced health professionals will work closely with your obstetrician throughout your pregnancy and after your baby arrives.

Prior to booking into hospital, we recommend that you speak to your private health insurance provider so that you are fully aware of your entitlements, including neonatal special or intensive care, and whether you will be required to cover an excess or co-payment.

Understanding other potential out of pocket (Gap) payments

To understand what other out of pocket (gap) expenses may be involved with having your baby, we recommend talking to your doctor, to your health fund, and of course to the hospital. 

If you are unsure exactly what to ask, we suggest using this checklist. We’ve listed a series of useful questions to ask those involved in your care during pregnancy and birth, so you have a much clearer idea of what to expect.
