An essential service for families with sick and injured kids
This is where Ronald McDonald House in Westmead comes in. With our 60-room House only a two-minute walk to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, families don’t have to worry about where to stay or how they’re going to pay for accommodation.
Our House is more than just a roof over families’ heads, though.
It’s peace of mind, knowing that their child’s medical team, life-saving treatment, and care are just steps away. Families can be together in a warm and welcoming space with all the comforts of home, allowing family life to carry on.
It’s the House that Love built, filled with home comforts and support from our community of families, volunteers, staff and donors.
Ronald McDonald House in Westmead is relied on by over 1,600 families from all over Australia every year, while their child is receiving life-saving treatment next door.
Families in our care are not only dealing with the stress and uncertainty of childhood illness or injury but also the added stress of being far from home and their personal support network.
With the help of our partners and donors, we become their home away from home and support network, for as long as needed. For some families, it’s an overnight stay for routine tests; for others, it’s a prolonged stay while their child undergoes intensive treatment and everything in between.
Do you have a question about staying with us? We are here to help.
