Keeping families together and close to the hospital

Our Mission
RMHC creates, finds and supports programs that directly impact the health and wellbeing of children and their families. RMHC is there for families when they need it most: right in their own communities.

Our Vision
A world where all children have access to medical care, and their families are supported and actively involved in their children’s care.

Our Programs and Services
When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, it impacts the whole family. Lives can be turned upside down. That’s why we provide a range of programs to help families stay together and close to the care they need. 

18 Ronald McDonald Houses
Keeping families under the one roof and close to the Hospital. Families often have to travel far from home to receive the medical care their child needs. Our 18 Houses provide essential care and support for families, only steps away from the hospital.
 

19 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms
A comfortable place for families to rest and recharge in hospital
Take a break from the ward in one of our 19 Family Rooms across Australia.   Located in Women’s and Children’s Hospitals and just moments away from their child’s bedside, carers can make a cup of tea or a meal, take a shower, or simply rest.
 

5 Family Retreats
Holiday accommodation to relax and reconnect
Our 5 Family Retreats in idyllic locations give families with a seriously ill child, or those grieving the loss of a child, the opportunity to take a break and spend some much-needed time together.
 

Ronald McDonald Learning Program
Helping sick kids catch-up on missed education
With a Learning Program in each Australian State and Territory, we help over 1300 students every week catch-up on missed education, making the return to school less stressful. In addition, our EDMED program helps ensure teachers are well equipped to support seriously ill children returning to school.
