Prologue at the Mater Hospital
As a patient of Prologue, you will be able to deliver your baby at the renowned Mater Hospital on Sydney’s Lower North Shore.
If you decide on a vaginal delivery, the recently renovated, private birthing suites at the Mater are fully equipped with state of the art facilities, designed with your comfort in mind. With an integrated approach to you and your baby’s care, the Central Fetal Monitoring System (CFMS) monitors your baby’s heartbeat and relays vital information during your labour, allowing your Prologue team to respond quickly to any changes if needed. The suites are spacious and come with an ensuite, TV, speakers and recliner lounge chairs.
The Mater also has a dedicated obstetric operating theatre should you choose or require a caesarean section. The purpose-built recovery bays allow your family to visit in comfort and privacy as soon as you are out of the theatre. Importantly, you are able to be with your baby immediately following the surgery.
Birthing Suite
The Special Care Nursery at the Mater is one of the best in the country. Your baby will get its own large room that has purposely been designed to have parents room in. It has a Neonatologist and specially trained nurses on hand at all times of the day or night, ensuring round the clock care for your baby.

Following birth, you will be moved to your own private room to recover and spend time with your baby as well as enjoying visits from family and friends. This is an important time for bonding with your baby and the Mater Hospital provides the amenities for you, your family and your friends, to do so in spacious, comfortable surroundings. The rooms are designed for your partner to stay overnight free of charge and include:
• Private ensuite bathroom
• A lounge chair that turns into a bed for your partner
• Complimentary Wi-Fi
• TV
• Bar fridge
The Mater Hospital serves the signature Maternity High Tea twice weekly. This is a wonderful time for your family and friends to come together to celebrate the arrival of your baby. You will all be able to relax in the Maternity Patient Lounge while you enjoy a range of both sweet and savoury finger food, scones with jam and cream, fresh fruit along with tea and coffee. Soak up the views of the Blue Mountains and Lane Cove River as you share this special time.
Postnatal Care
During your stay at the Mater, you may have the option of moving to one of the maternity ward’s family suites. These larger rooms have a queen size bed as well as lounge chairs and create a more home like environment whilst still having access to the support of the Mater’s midwifery and lactation support teams. There is a cost to request a family suite that is not covered by private health insurance, however, the cost does include all meals for you and your partner.
