No family should have to deal with their child’s medical crisis alone. We believe when families are together, they cope better.
Keeping families together for over 30 years
Welcome to Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern NSW (RMHC NNSW).
We’re an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital programs for families with seriously ill children.
We first opened the doors of Ronald McDonald House Newcastle in 1991.
Since then, we’ve continued to expand our services for families with seriously ill or injured kids – opening another Ronald McDonald House in Tamworth; two Family Rooms in the John Hunter Children’s Hospital and one Family Room in Gosford Hospital; and a Family Retreat in Forster.
Our Ronald McDonald Learning Program supports sick kids and their siblings, equipping them with the tools to catch-up on any education they have missed due to illness.
Through supported accommodation and wraparound services, we strive to keep families together when life gets turned upside down due to a child’s illness.
Our programs are run by a tirelessly hard working team of staff and volunteers, aided by the generous support of our donors, sponsors and corporate partners.
Our Mission
At Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW, we provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families and promote healing when children need healthcare.
Our Vision
A world where event family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.
Our Values
Supporting families for over three decades
Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW is an independent, nonprofit organisation, caring for families when they have children who are ill or injured since 1991. We surround families with the resources, services and support they need, removing barriers so they can be at the heart of their child’s care and ensure the best possible outcomes.
