When a child becomes ill or injured and require medical treatment far from home, it can impact the whole family. RMHC WA plays a unique role in enabling, facilitating, and supporting family-centred care within Western Australia’s child, adolescent and maternity health systems.
The Ronald McDonald House Program gives families with an ill or injured child the best gift of all – their families. Our Houses are a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families travelling to the Perth’s Children’s Hospital and King Edward Memorial Hospital for treatment.
For WA families with ill or injured kids requiring medical treatment in Perth, the Ronald McDonald House Program provides them with quality supported accommodation 24/7, 365 days a year for as long or as often as they need.
Close to the medical facilities of Perth Children’s Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House in Nedlands is a state-of-the-art, purpose built home. With 47 invitingly furnished guest rooms and an array of on-site facilities, we help make the lives of WA families with sick or injured kids 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.
Ronald McDonald House on Park will offer families supported accommodation nestled amongst the tranquil gardens of St Catherine’s College, a short walk from Perth Children’s Hospital.
The Ronald McDonald Learning Program (RMLP) aims to bridge the gap for school-aged students whose education is disrupted due to 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 in Busselton, Bunbury or Mandurah. It’s an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy time together in each other’s company, an important part of the healing process.
The Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Bunbury is located 185km south of Perth, a few blocks from the beachfront in the heart of Bunbury
The Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Busselton is located 230km from Perth, at The Cape View Beach Resort, on the shores of Geographe Bay in Busselton.
The Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Mandurah is located 62km from Perth, on the shores of Doddi’s Beach in Halls Head.
When a young person is dealing with an 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:
