By virtue of its origin and its continuing inspiration, The Mater Hospital is a Catholic hospital and the health care philosophy is rooted in the values, morals, ethics and teachings of the Catholic Church. Namely:

• The sacredness of life from conception to death
• The dignity of worth of each person regardless of race, sex, creed or social status
• The unique position of the family in society, its central role in the promotion of holistic health, which we strive to enhance and support.
• Compassion for the sick, suffering and grieving
• Concern for social justice and poor
• The provision of quality health care which acknowledges health in wholeness and which requires an openness to new ideas and developments
• Treating members of staff with dignity and respect by providing an environment for good working relationships through personal approach and presence
• An approach to care which is faith centered, committed to the spiritual, physical and psychological wholeness of the person, and provides a channel through which the merciful healing love of Christ is transmitted.
