Supporting families with ill and injured children across the ACT and south east NSW

About our Charity

We provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families and promote healing when children need healthcare.

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.

With your support, we can continue to help families when they need it the most. Make a difference by getting involved today.

Ronald McDonald House CharitiesACT & South East NSW (RMHC ACT & SE NSW) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation.

Get Involved

When a child is in hospital, it can have a devastating impact on families. As well as the uncertainty and fear, there’s added stress for families who don’t live close to the medical care their child needs. We believe all families deserve to stay close to their child during such difficult times, and we need your support to help make it happen:

A 153 Night Long Stay at Ronald McDonald House Canberra

Leo came into the world at just 35 weeks, his mum Rachel flown to Canberra from their hometown in Griffith 424kms away, after Rachel's water broke early. 

Leo’s mum and dad, Rachel and Roger, were told at their 12 week prenatal scan that their baby had gastroschisis, which meant that Leo’s bowels were forming on the outside of his stomach.

Within hours of being born, Leo had his first of 5 major operations. For almost 6 months, he stayed hospitalised. During this time, his mum and dad were able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House located within the Hospital, close to their son.
