About Us
A place that feels like home.
Welcome to Ronald McDonald House Charities Western Australia!
We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital support programs for families with sick or injured children.
RMHC WA introduced the very first Ronald McDonald House in Western Australia in Subiaco in 1990. While our original House is no longer running, since then, we have opened the doors to our state-of-the-art 47 bedroom House in Nedlands, and a 14 bedroom House inside Perth Children’s Hospital.
Through our supported accommodation and wraparound services, we strive to keep families together when life gets turned upside down due to a child’s illness.
Our Ronald McDonald Houses and Programs are run by a tirelessly hard working team of staff and volunteers, aided by the generous support of our donors, sponsors and corporate partners.
The time at Ronald McDonald House allowed us to best heal Danika after her surgery, safely begin her trial, and have access to regular medical care. A few nights in the middle of the night we had to rush to ED – Looking out the window and seeing the hospital eased our minds.

Acknowledgement of Country
Ronald McDonald House WA acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are privileged to live, work and welcome families. We honour their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community, and pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present.
Here, on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja, we open our doors to families from across Western Australia when they need us most. Grounded in the enduring care and wisdom of the Traditional Custodians of this land, we offer comfort, safety, and a sense of home.
We recognise the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and we walk alongside them with humility, respect, and a commitment to listening, learning, and healing together.
