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.

“We have just had the most amazing week away. We had time at the beach and Georgie had her first ever dip in the ocean. A wonderful moment for us all. It has been almost two years since we have had time away as a family and we truly enjoyed some quality time together.” Leah Allen (Bunbury Family Retreat)

But with home two and a half hours away in Busselton, and two other young children to care for, it was difficult to find a place to stay for the whole family. Read more about Crisp’s Family Story...
