We believe when families are together, they cope better. We believe no family should have to deal with their child’s medical crisis alone.

Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney is an independent non-profit organisation founded in 1981.
We surround families with a community of support and the resources they need to stay at the heart of their child’s care, helping ensure the best possible health outcomes.
Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Westmead is a 60-room House just steps away from The Children’s Hospital at Westmead (CHW). With support from our community, we provide meals, counselling, education services, social and recreational activities, everyday essentials, community, and hope.
We also invite families with a child who is a patient of the hospital to our Westmead House through the Day Pass Program. Families can find respite away from the clinical hospital environment and access our ground-floor facilities daily, including meals and refreshments.
Within CHW, the Ronald McDonald House Family Room serves as a calm space where families can stay close while taking a moment to breathe.
Our Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Hospitality Carts operate on the children’s wards of CHW and Nepean and Campbelltown Hospitals. They help families stay comforted and close with the little things that make big days easier.
In 2025, we supported close to 6,000 families, but this is only possible through the generosity of our community.
