Charity
Helping families stay close since 1981.
When a child is Ill or injured, it affects the whole family. Everyday life is disrupted, especially when the best medical care is far from home.
Across Australia, Ronald McDonald House® Programs wrap families with care, giving them everything they need to stay together and keep strong – a place to sleep, rest and play, to keep working and learning, warm meals and a community of support, all close to the hospital – so they can focus on caring for their ill or injured child.
When a child is in hospital family stays, and Ronald McDonald House® stays with them.
At McDonald’s Australia, we have been supporting the work of Ronald McDonald House® since 1981 and will continue to do so for generations to come.
