Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia
When a child is seriously ill, it can disrupt every aspect of family life – from school and work, to everyday moments like mealtimes, bath times, playtimes and quality time. This can have a devastating effect on the whole family. Ronald McDonald House Charities® helps family life carry on while a child is undergoing treatment. For nearly 40 years we’ve helped Australian families through some of their most difficult times. Our Programs include: Ronald McDonald House - Our Houses offer families a place to stay close to the hospital. They are especially helpful for families who have to travel far to receive treatment for their child. All accommodation is equipped with everything families need to feel supported during their stay. Ronald McDonald Family Rooms - Our Family Rooms are located close to children’s wards. They give families a chance to recharge after many stressful hours at their child’s side. Each room is equipped with areas to sleep, eat, freshen up, play and relax. Ronald McDonald Learning Program - Our tailored one-to-one tuition help kids keep up with schoolwork so that they feel confident when they get back to school. Ronald McDonald Family Retreats - Our Family Retreats give families a chance to forget the stresses of hospital life. They’re open to families with a seriously ill child, or those grieving the loss of a child, who might not have the time or finances to take a much-needed break. Ronald McDonald Care Mobile - Our Care Mobile brings care to children in remote and rural NSW, in partnership with Royal Far West. It ensures distance isn’t a barrier to receiving early intervention services for children in these areas.
