Supporting families with children who are ill and injured 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.

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. 

At their 12-week scan, the soon to be first-time parents learned their baby had gastroschisis – a condition meaning that Leo's bowels were developing outside 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.
