We are excited to share a special opportunity for our community, thanks to our friends at Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney.
This year, Ronald McDonald House Charities ACT & SE NSW is bringing together a team to join Walk Me Home, an incredible 25km coastal walk that raises vital funds to support sick and injured children and their families. Even better, all donations raised by Team RMHC ACT will directly support families staying with us here in Canberra and across South East NSW.
You can join or donate to our team & also learn more about the event here: https://www.walkmehome.org.au/fundraisers/rmhcact
If you are interested in joining Team RMHC ACT, you can sign up via the link above or reach out to our team at [email protected].
When registering, please ensure you join Team RMHC ACT so all funds raised go directly to supporting local families at RMHC ACT & SE NSW.
Thank you to our friends at Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney for allowing our team to be part of this great day and make a difference for families across our region.

We want to make sure families have a ‘home away from home’ inside the hospital, away from the clinical environment of the ward.
That’s why our Family Room is purpose built for the free and exclusive use of parents, carers, guardians and their families with kids undergoing inpatient or outpatient treatment at the Centenary Hospital for Women & Children.
Opening hours are varied depending on volunteer availability. Please ring the team if you’d like to find out the latest hours on 6281 5894.
Absolutely! The Family Room is available for use by families currently staying at Ronald McDonald House Canberra.
Thanks to the generous support of our donors, all services and use of the Ronald McDonald House Family Room is free for all families.
