Our Patron

For over 20 years Adam Gilchrist has been proud Patron of Ronald McDonald House Charities Western Australia. Adam’s support has been integral to the continued success of fundraising events and the awareness of RMHC WA in the WA community.

Together with his wife Mel, Adam’s tireless dedication to RMHC WA since 2000 has significantly contributed to the awareness of the charity’s service to WA families with sick or injured children from across our vast state.

Adam’s support across fundraising events such as WA Giving Day, Up All Night and the RMHC WA Gala Ball has ensured the continued success of these initiatives in raising much-needed funds for WA families.

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.
