When kids fall ill or are injured and require 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 gives kids who are seriously or injured the best gift of all – their families. Our Houses are a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of kids travelling to the Perth’s Children’s Hospital and King Edward Memorial Hospital for treatment.
For WA families with sick or injured kids requiring medical treatment in Perth, we provide them with quality supported accommodation 24/7, 365 days a year through the Ronald McDonald House Program.
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 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 (RMLP) aims to bridge the gap for school-aged students whose education is disrupted due to serious illness or injury.
Supporting students 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.
Our Ronald McDonald Family Retreats offer a welcomed sanctuary for families with sick or injured kids to reconnect, relax and enjoy time together; an experience most of us often take for granted.
Eligible families can enjoy up to one week of free accommodation at a Ronald McDonald Family Retreat. It’s 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.

When a young person is dealing with a serious illness or injury, other parts of their life can sometimes come to a standstill.

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:
