We believe that “home” is more than four walls and a roof over your head. That’s why every Ronald McDonald House provides families with all the comforts of home, plus the compassion of staff, volunteers, and other families – all just steps away from the hospital, so they can focus on what matters most – caring for their ill or injured child.
When the best medical treatment for a child is far from home, families don’t have worry about where to stay. At a Ronald McDonald House, families can be together, enjoy home-cooked meals and receive compassionate hospitality and support from staff and volunteers – making their journey a little easier.
Our 17 Houses across Australia allow families to stay together, close to the hospital and remain at the heart of their child’s healthcare.
Families have access to private rooms, shared kitchens, laundry and meals, office spaces, play areas and welcoming communal spaces, providing comfort away from home. Supported by compassionate volunteers, staff and other families on similar journeys, families can feel connected, strong and cared for, focusing on being together and caring for their ill or injured child, rather than the stress and cost of travelling long distances.
