Resources for Parents, Carers, Guardians and Families
When a child falls ill or is injured and requires complex medical treatment, it can impact the whole family. RMHC WA plays an unique role in enabling, facilitating, and supporting family-centred care within Western Australia’s child and adolescent health system.
The Ronald McDonald House Program
The Ronald McDonald House Programs give seriously ill children the best gift of all – their families. Our Houses are a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of children travelling to the Perth’s Children’s Hospital and King Edward Memorial Hospital for treatment.
For Western Australian families with seriously ill children requiring medical treatment in Perth, RMHC WA provides them with quality supported accommodation 24/7, 365 days a year through the Ronald McDonald House Program.
Ronald McDonald House in Nedlands
Close to the medical facilities of Perth Children’s Hospital, our Ronald McDonald House in Nedlands is a state-of-the-art, purpose built home. With 47 invitingly furnished guest rooms and fantastic on-site facilities, we help make the lives of families just that little bit easier.
Ronald McDonald House in Perth Children’s Hospital
Ronald McDonald House in Perth Children’s Hospital is a 14 bedroom house, located on Level 5 of the hospital. Stays in this house are allocated by Perth Children's Hospital on a case-by-case basis.
The Ronald McDonald Learning Program
The Ronald McDonald Learning Program (RMLP) aims to bridge the gap for school-aged students whose education is disrupted due to serious illness or injury.
Supporting children from kindergarten to Year 12, the program provides a range of educational services including up to 40 hours of one-on-one tutoring and funding towards allied health intervention.
The Ronald McDonald Family Retreat Program
The Ronald McDonald Family Retreat Program offers a welcomed sanctuary for families of seriously ill children to reconnect, relax and enjoy time together; an experience most of us often take for granted.
The Family Retreat Program provides an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy time together in each other’s company, an important part of the healing process as well as family-centred care.

Our Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Bunbury is located 185km south of Perth, a few blocks from the beachfront in the heart of Bunbury

Charlie Bell Scholarship Program
When a young person is dealing with a serious illness or injury, other parts of their life can sometimes come to a standstill. To help students get back on their career path and towards the future they dream of, Ronald McDonald House Charities established the Charlie Bell Scholarship. The scholarship awards one-off grants of up to $5,000 to young people aged 15 to 20 years, to assist towards their tertiary education:
- Scholarships are awarded annually
- Applications close on 30th November each year
