Our Impact

Significant outcomes for families and healthcare/education systems

Thanks to your generosity, Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney supported close to 6,000 families in 2025—66% more than the previous year.

Read more about the impact of our services and support on thousands of families with sick and injured children, which would not have been possible without the help of our generous and vital community.

Our services and support not only deliver substantial wellbeing outcomes and cost savings for families with sick or injured kids, but also significantly impact our health and education systems.

In 2020, Social Ventures Australia evaluated Ronald McDonald House Charities programs nationally, including our Houses, Learning Program, and support in hospitals. Their extensive report showed that for every $1 invested, $3.60 of social value is created.

Their report revealed that:

Families rely on our services and support during some of the most stressful periods of their lives.
The healthcare system relies on our services and support to help them focus on treating children in their care. We also free up hospital beds when children are discharged to stay overnight at the House and return for treatment through the day.
The education system relies on our Learning Program to help sick children maintain their education and learning.
