Parking is available at the Mater Hospitals complex in South Brisbane. The Mater Hospitals operate several parking stations, including one accessed from Stanley Street or Water Street/Allen Street, one accessed from Vulture Street, and a little further away, one accessed from Hancock Street. The charges for all the carparks are the same across the campus.

The Stanley Street/Water Street carpark is directly adjacent to our building, which can be entered from level 4. Uromed is the first suite on the left (Suite 4.05).

The Vulture Street carpark, underneath the Mater Medical Centre and attached to the Mater Private Hospital, is a short walk through the hospital to our building. Take the lift to level 6 of the Mater Medical Centre parking and walk through the Mater Private Hospital. After Chloe’s coffee shop, opposite the pharmacy, take the corridor on the right, which leads over the busway and into the Mater Private Clinic building. In this building, take the lift down to level 4, to arrive at our rooms.

Our doctors operate in several different hospitals, in both the public and private sectors. The hospital to which you may be admitted depends on your surgeon your insurance cover, the type of operation, your preference for date and your age. It is discussed with your surgeon at the time of consultation, as part of the planning process for any operation or procedure.

If you have full private insurance, operations can be performed at Mater Private (all our urologists), or Mater Springfield (Dr Stuart Philip) or North West Private Hospital (Dr Adrian Clubb). Children are operated at the Mater Children’s Hospital, South Brisbane (Dr Winkle), as private patients or at Lady Cilento Childrens Hospital (LCCH). All our urologists treat patients in the Mater Adults Hospital, either as public patients or self-insured (intermediate) patients.

Some operations can only be performed in certain hospitals because of the technology available.
