The Caring Continues
Our Caring Continues options have been designed to offer support, and a little luxury, for Mater Mothers' Private Brisbane mums. We want your stay with us and journey home, to be safe, comfortable and as smooth as possible by providing exceptional support.
We've created three packages to choose from which you can enjoy either in the comfort of your own home, or at the luxurious Emporium Hotel South Bank.
If you are considering choosing one of our Caring Continues options after the birth of your baby, you meet the eligibility criteria and your doctor agrees that both you and your baby are well enough, you may choose one of the following options to help you settle into family life comfortably.

What our mums have to say...
“It’s just been so nice having quality time to bond with Hugo before going home. Raymond and I have had time to reconnect with each other and also spend time with just Hugo.” Hannah
“Staying at the Emporium was a treat. I was able to order food and have it delivered and not have to do the washing and ironing and look after the kids straight away. It was a really nice way to ease my way back home.” Danielle
“The whole experience has made us feel so special. We’ve felt so comfortable and supported knowing there’s a midwife right there if we need her. We absolutely recommend it!” Kate
