The new maternity service will feature six birthing suites, two birthing pools, 16 neonatal special care cots, and a pregnancy assessment centre.

Meanwhile, the upcoming facility will be integrated with the existing Mater Private Hospital Springfield and will include a combined total of 228 beds, an emergency department, an intensive care unit, and specialist services.
