About
Ronald McDonald House Westmead gives seriously ill children the best gift of all – their families. Our House is a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of children travelling to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead for treatment.
A safe and welcoming environment where families can stay connected, and parents can communicate more easily with their child’s medical team. 2018 saw Ronald McDonald House Westmead completely transformed into a purpose-built, 60 room accommodation facility to be able to cater to more families in need.
Conditions of Use
Keeping the family together can be extremely tough without support, which is why we offer accommodation for parents with seriously ill children receiving treatment at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Our House also supports mothers going through high risk pregnancies.
Priority is given to families who live further from the hospital. Consideration is given to each families’ needs and their child’s medical circumstances. 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, seriously injured or who require emergency treatment.
