Families often have to travel far from home to receive the medical care their child needs. Ronald McDonald Houses provide essential care and support for families, only steps away from the hospital.

Family Rooms are located in Women’s and Children’s Hospitals and just moments away from their child’s bedside, carers can make a cup of tea or a meal, take a shower, or simply rest.

Family Retreats in idyllic locations give families with a seriously ill child, or those grieving the loss of a child, the opportunity to take a break and spend some much needed time together.

With a Learning Program in each Australian State and Territory, RMHC helps students catch-up on missed education, making the return to school less stressful. In addition, the EDMED program helps ensure teachers are well equipped to support seriously ill children returning to school.

Stocked with boredom busters including books, games, arts and crafts for children, and essential items like toiletries, eye-masks and ear-plugs for adults, the Hospitality Cart is a special way of providing rapid, mobile care and connection with our families whilst in hospital.

In partnership with Royal Far West, the Care Mobile ensures distance isn’t a barrier to delivering the very best care across remote and rural NSW, enabling assessments and early intervention services for children in these areas.
