Preparing for surgery doesn't have to feel overwhelming.
Matilda provides you with evidence-based support to help you prepare for surgery, recover with confidence, and feel supported every step of the way.
What is Matilda?
Everything you need, in one place.
Preparing for surgery can feel overwhelming. Matilda brings together trusted education, practical tools and multidisciplinary support into one easy-to-use platform, helping you feel informed, prepared and confident before and after surgery.
Rather than searching the internet or trying to piece together advice from different places, you'll have guidance that's designed specifically for your surgical journey
Preparing for surgery and recovering well often benefits from support across multiple health disciplines. Matilda brings together evidence-based guidance from physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, exercise physiologists, specialist nurses and other health professionals, making this support easier to access throughout your surgical journey.

We believe everyone deserves access to multidisciplinary support before and after surgery, but one-to-one care isn't always affordable or accessible. Matilda brings together expert guidance from multiple health disciplines into a single program, helping make this support available to more people at a fraction of the cost of accessing each service individually.
As we grow, we're working with healthcare providers, insurers and other partners to make Matilda even more affordable through reimbursement and funding pathways.
-
All content is developed by experienced clinicians, including pelvic health physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, exercise physiologists, specialist nurses and gynaecologists, alongside people with lived experience.
-
Many gynaecologists already partner with Matilda as part of their surgical care. If you're unsure, ask your surgeon or get in touch with us, we're always happy to help you access the program and can provide information to your healthcare team if needed.
