Mater Private Hospital Bundaberg has held a place in Sister Anne Slattery's heart for almost 60 years.

Sr Anne began as a general nurse in 1967, before moving through different roles, including theatre nurse, Director of Nursing and finally Chief Executive Officer.

“There is a special bond between nurses and I’m still in touch with former colleagues – we have amazing stories to share from our time at Mater.”

The stories Sr Anne shares are just a handful of the memories made at the hospital, many of which will be remembered later this month when Mater Private Hospital Bundaberg celebrates its 80th anniversary.
“I feel very proud of the hospital’s achievements over that time,” said Sr Anne.

As a thank you to those who have helped shape its role over eight decades, Mater Private Hospital Bundaberg is hosting a day of celebrations on Wednesday July 29.

Mater Private Hospital Bundaberg has proudly celebrated 50 years of NAIDOC.

A highlight was an Indigenous art workshop facilitated by the team from Stepping Black, where Mater People and patients explored the meaning behind traditional symbols, colours and storytelling through art before creating their own pieces.

Mater People were also encouraged to Wear their Commitment by proudly displaying shirts, lapel pins and bandannas in recognition of and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. Daily educational resources were shared, helping to build understanding and promote meaningful conversations.
