Family stays close when their child needs them the most
A Ronald McDonald House Family Room is a calm space away from the medical environment, where family stays close while taking a moment to breathe. During long days of tests and treatment, it gives families a safe place to play, rest, freshen up, grab a bite to eat, or simply pause.
When days feel never-ending, these small moments of care matter. In a Family Room, families can recharge, meet others walking a similar path, be comforted by our volunteers, and regain the strength they need to be there for their child.
Often steps away from a paediatric or intensive care unit, each Ronald McDonald House Family Room offers a place for families to rest and regroup away from the medical environment.
Our 16 Family Rooms across Australia offer a warm and welcoming place for families to be together and stay close to their child’s treatment. Located inside major children’s hospitals and run by our friendly volunteers, families can enjoy a cup of tea or a meal, play as a family, take a shower, connect as a family, or simply, rest.
Parents don’t know when their child will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can strive to support them all throughout their journey.
