The present invention relates to a process for preparing a cobalt-containing Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst with good physical properties and high cobalt loading. In one aspect, the present invention provides a process for preparing a supported cobalt-containing Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst, said process comprising the steps of: (a) impregnating a support material with cobalt haydroxide nitrate, or a hydrate thereof, of formula (I) below to form an impregnated support material, [Co(OH)(NO).yHO] (I) where: 0&#x3c;x&#x3c;2 0&#x2264;y&#x2264;6 (b) drying and calcining the impregnated support material.
