New name, same heart 

We are excited to introduce our new modernised brand, which includes a new name, look and feel that reflects our mission and the community of support, comfort, and strength that Ronald McDonald House provides to families through essential wraparound care.

An ill or injured child needs their family close

When a child is in the hospital, families don’t just visit, they stay. And we stay with them.

Ronald McDonald House enables families to stay together by providing essential services that support, care for, and strengthen families, and promote healing when their child needs healthcare.

Your generosity allows us to help more families in need.

Each year Ronald McDonald House serves tens of thousands of families across Australia, but more need our help.

The demand for our programs and services has never been greater. 

Whether it’s a one-off donation, regular giving, or volunteering, you will make an impact.

You can help our mission to surround more families with what they need to stay at the heart of their child’s care and ensure the best outcomes for their children.

Together, we can help more families.

Our Programs

More than a place to stay, Ronald McDonald House Programs across Australia surround families with a community of support, care, and the resources they need – a place to sleep, rest and play, keep working and learning, do laundry, share a home-cooked meal, connect with other families who have been there, feel the comfort and support of our staff and volunteers, all close to the hospital – so they can stay at the heart of their child’s care and ensure the best possible health outcomes.

Families need Ronald McDonald House and we need you. 

When a child is ill or injured, it affects the entire family. Everyday life is disrupted. Especially when the best medical treatment for a child is far from home. 

We believe no family should have to choose between being there for their child and having a place to stay.

So, at Ronald McDonald House, we provide support and remove barriers to enable families to stay together, strong, connected and close to the care they need.  

$1 donated = $3.60 in value 

Every dollar you donate has a 360% increase in value, which impacts families with ill or injured children, and the healthcare and education systems across Australia.
