About the role

Mater Mother’s Hospital is Australia’s largest maternity service, and we are excited to be able to offer several exceptional and talented PHO’s the opportunity to spend 12-months working in our world- class organisation across both our South Brisbane and Springfield sites.  Mater Mother’s Hospital delivers more than 10,000 babies each year and is also home to a busy general gynaecology service.  Mater will also open a brand new birthing service at the Mater Hospital Springfield in 2026 providing excellent access to learning opportunities for PHO’s in a lower acuity hospital.

This opportunity is ideal for Medical Officers seeking to further their clinical experience prior to embarking on Specialist training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology.  The successful applicants will enjoy supported exposure to all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology, including antenatal clinic, Early Pregnancy and Pregnancy Assessment Units, labour ward, caesarean sections, gynaecology clinic and theatre.  This 12-month position also provides the opportunity to gain skills in the care and management of both high- and low-risk obstetric patients as well as active participation in departmental audits and research.  The applicant may also have the opportunity to participate in the Mater’s Flying O&G service, gaining valuable gynaecology experience in rural settings.  

Our world-class tertiary maternity facility is located in Brisbane’s South Bank precinct and is the largest facility of its kind in the southern hemisphere. The Mater Mother’s Hospitals manage more than 10,000 births and neonatal admissions each year, including at least 100 neonatal retrievals and 150 back transfers.   We provide antenatal, perinatal and postnatal services, and specialise in caring for severe complications in pregnancy with a sub-specialty Maternal-Fetal-Medicine service.  The Mater provides comprehensive general gynaecological services, with sub-specialty areas of practice including gynaecology, gynaecological oncology, endoscopic surgery, women’s imaging and perinatal pathology.  The unit has a dynamic education, audit and research program and the successful applicant will be expected to be actively involved in these activities.

In an exciting new chapter Mater Springfield will be opening its obstetric unit in early 2026. We are also recruiting PHOs to work in this unit. Birthing numbers are expected to be approximately 1600 per annum.

Mater Is offering a number of PHO roles, some based at South Brisbane, some based at Mater Springfield with a few will have the opportunity to rotate across both sites. Short listed candidates will have the opportunity to indicate their preference.

Remuneration is in accordance with the Mater Medical Officer’s Enterprise Agreement 2024  with access to not-for-profit salary packaging up to $15,900  + access to many staff benefits!
