Ronald McDonald House – Newcastle

Newscastle, NSW, 2300

About

Our Newcastle House gives seriously ill children the best gift of all – their families. Our warm and supportive home-away-from-home provides the whole family with a comfortable place to stay and peace of mind, knowing they can stay together and close to their child at John Hunter Children’s Hospital.

Over 600 families a year stay with us here in Newcastle. Our comfortable family bedrooms and self-contained units provide a homely experience to families when they need it most, while our common areas allow for shared journeys and unwavering support.

Conditions of Use

Keeping the family together can be extremely tough without support, which is why we offer accommodation for parents with sick kids who need to travel to the John Hunter Children’s Hospital for treatment.

We try to accommodate the needs of families where we can, but this is always subject to availability. Priority is given to families whose children have been recently diagnosed, have a serious or life threatening illness, are seriously injured or who require emergency treatment, as well as families of premature babies.

HeartKids is not affiliated with this support group or organisation. It is the responsibility of the individual and/or their carer(s) to determine whether this or any other organisation on this website may provide some benefit to them.
