About Us

A home-away-from-home when it's needed most.

Keeping Families Close

At Ronald McDonald House Charities ACT & South East NSW we provide essential accommodation and support programs for ill or injured children and their families

We’re a local, independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping families stay together during some of life’s most difficult moments. 

Since opening our first Ronald McDonald House at Canberra Hospital in 2012, we’ve expanded to deliver a growing range of programs across ACT health campuses, and a peaceful Family Retreat on the South Coast of NSW for families needing a break after treatment.

With your support, we can continue to remove barriers, ease stress, and strengthen families facing the toughest of journeys.

Acknowledgement of Country

We pay our respects to them and their Elders past and present.
