Centre For Wellbeing

Your Centre, Your Sanctuary

The Centre offers physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing services to all Mater patients, their families and carers throughout the cancer journey. 

Experience the calm serenity of the Centre's welcoming spaces, engage in supportive group programs, reset your mind with a meditation session, move your body with a personalised exercise program or Yoga class, or indulge in one of our integrative wellbeing therapies
