The Mater provides an extensive Otolaryngology, Ear, Nose & Throat surgical service. This is supported by a large cohort of highly skilled and experienced surgeons who provide services across both major teaching hospitals and the private healthcare sector. Many of these specialists consult from the Mater Clinic which is co-located to the Mater.
