Impact across Queensland
This Mater Giving Day, you can help ensure life-saving equipment is there — every minute, every hour, every day.
Dashelle's story
Catherine’s House changed the course of my life and my family’s life”. Queensland’s first integrated perinatal mental health centre, Catherine’s House, was established thanks to generous community donations through the Mater Foundation. Since opening in 2023, it has helped hundreds of families like Dashelle’s to receive life changing support and care.
Jan's story
Jan’s devastating cancer diagnosis came out of the blue. Her life expectancy – less than a year. Through a Mater clinical trial, she has been given more time – eight more years with her family and counting. This trial was made possible thanks to the generous support of our community. Your support helps fund life-saving research and gives more people hope when they need it most.
Ivy's story
At just three years old, Ivy needed surgery to fix a painful kidney condition.
Her family lives in Weipa, where accessing specialised care often means travelling far from home. When Ivy’s condition worsened, they faced the reality of leaving their community during an already difficult time. But this time, world-class care was closer than they ever expected.

How does my impact get tripled? What does that mean?
Every donation made on Mater Giving Day will be tripled thanks to our matching donors–a group of passionate philanthropists determined to motivate and incentivise our wider community to give more.
These matching partners will chip in two additional dollars for every dollar you give. For example, if you donate $50, Mater will receive $150.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes, donations of $2 and over are tax deductible in Australia. You will receive a receipt via email as soon as your donation is made.
Where do the funds go?
Funds raised through Mater Giving Day help support care that’s needed every day, across Mater services.
Your generosity helps:
- Provide critical and lifesaving medical equipment.
- Strengthen programs that allow more people to receive treatment closer to home.
- Support research, education and services that improve patient outcomes.
Importantly, this includes expanding access to care in regional communities, helping reduce the need for people to travel long distances for treatment and allowing them to stay connected to their homes, families and communities.
Because when someone needs care, where they live shouldn’t limit the support they receive.
Be there when it matters most.
