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.
Ronald McDonald House understands 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 of seriously ill children.
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.
