Ronald McDonald Wollongong Family Room

About our House and Family Rooms

For over 33 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities have supported thousands of seriously ill children and their parents, carers, and guardians.

Through our accommodation and support services, we strive to build a community that nurtures and empowers seriously ill children and their families.

Our Ronald McDonald House supports over 960 family stays each year. Opened in 1991 in Randwick, we provide more than just basic necessities. We specialise in assisting families who need to travel away from home to receive specialist medical care for their sick children, offering a warm and welcoming place to stay in a supportive and understanding environment.

The Ronald McDonald Wollongong Famiy Room is a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of children travelling for treatment at the Wollongong Hospital. Ronald McDonald House is committed to providing family-focused care allowing families to stay by their child’s side during their treatment. Our communal facilities help to create a social and supportive environment and offer a few of the comforts of home that make life just that little bit easier.

Our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are exclusively for the families of children undergoing treatment in a nearby ward. Run by our friendly volunteers, our Family Rooms are welcoming spaces where you can take time out from the clinical environment of the wards, have a tea or coffee, freshen up with a shower or find a quiet space for a much-needed nap. Our Family Rooms also have dedicated play areas so the siblings of seriously ill children can have a bit of fun.

Our Family Room at Wollongong Hospital offers a full kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities, as well as a comfortable lounge space and children’s play area.
