Day Pass for CHW families

  • Friendly staff and volunteers
  • Free wi-fi

"The Day Pass Program at Ronald McDonald House Westmead is just amazing. I spent three months in the hospital, and that was my saviour. Honestly, for my mental health, the Day Pass kept me alive."

All guests of the Day Pass Program must book their visit in advance via the calendar below.

To ensure a smooth check-in experience, we kindly ask families to review our Day Pass Program Guest Agreement prior to their visit. This agreement must be acknowledged when completing the registration form upon arrival.

Our House is conveniently located at 1 Labyrinth Way, Westmead 2145, accessible via Redbank Rd or a short 300m walk through the gate at the end of Westmead Children’s Hospital children’s garden.
