We believe the entire family needs comfort and support when a child is sick and should be fully involved with health care providers about the care and services their child receives.
Our Ronald McDonald House’s in Newcastle and Tamworth provide a ‘home away from home’ for families with seriously ill or injured children who travel far from home for medical treatment.
Our two Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW Family Rooms located in John Hunter Children’s and Gosford Hospitals are a friendly place for families to rest and recharge close to the ward.
Our Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW Family Hub located within the John Hunter Children’s Hospital NICU offers families a gentle pause from the intensity of hospital care.
Our Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW Family Retreat provides families with a sick child, or those grieving the loss of a child, an opportunity to take a break and spend some much needed time together.
The Ronald McDonald House Learning Program helps school-aged sick kids catch-up on their missed education and stay on top of their school needs.
Our programs provide so much more than shelter for families with children who need to travel for medical care; offering a place to sleep, rest and play; where they can keep working and learning, share a home-coked meal and feel the warmth and comfort from other families, staff and volunteers. A place to stay together, stay strong and stay connected.
