Accommodation in this House is allocated by Perth Children’s Hospital to parents, carers and guardians of critically unwell and palliative patients, Royal Flying Doctor Service unplanned admissions, transplant patients and breastfeeding mothers of sick babies.
Families that include siblings of the patient, can apply to stay at the much larger Ronald McDonald House Nedlands, located 300m from the hospital, where rooms can be configured to accommodate family groups.
We understand that being away from home for long periods of time can put families under financial pressure. That’s why our accommodation is free for eligible families with sick or injured kids.
While our policy is to provide free accommodation, regional patients may be required to claim financial support towards accommodation and travel from the relevant government transport assistance scheme. Our friendly PCH Family Liaison Officers will work with you to apply for the relevant financial support.
To find out if you’re eligible for government financial assistance, contact your hospital social worker or talk to one of our team, or check out the WA Government Country Health Service webpage for the Patient Assisted Travel Scheme (PATS)
