Make a real difference -Volunteer at Ronald McDonald House Canberra
Looking for a powerful way to give back and be part of something truly meaningful?
Join us at Ronald McDonald House Charities ACT & South East NSW and help support families with seriously ill or injured children and premature newborns receiving care in Canberra hospitals.
As a volunteer, you’ll become a vital part of our compassionate community, offering hands-on support, lending a listening ear, preparing home cooked meals, or helping with the day-to-day running of our House. Every task, big or small, helps families stay close to their child during the toughest time of their lives.
Plus, volunteering can give you a sense of purpose and personal fulfillment, help you develop new skills and expand your professional network, and even improve your mental and physical health.
Our flexible, ongoing volunteer shifts run 365 days a year, with most roles based at the Centenary Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Woden, ACT. Roles are available in our Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald House Family Room, our Hospitality cart and more!
