Our Impact

Significant outcomes for families, healthcare, and education systems

Thanks to your generosity, close to 6,000 families were supporter by Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney in 2025 – 66% more than the previous year.

Read more about how families were put at the heart of care and the impact of our services and support on thousands of families with sick and injured children. This life-changing impact wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our generous and vital community. So we thank you, and so do the thousands of families you’ve helped.

Our services and support not only deliver substantial wellbeing outcomes and cost savings for families with sick or injured kids, but also significantly impact our health and education systems.

In 2020, Social Ventures Australia evaluated Ronald McDonald House programs nationally, including our Ronald McDonald Houses, Ronald McDonald Learning Program, and support in hospitals. Their extensive report showed that for every $1 invested, $3.60 of social value is created.

Their report revealed that: 

  • Families of seriously ill or injured children rely on our services and support during some of the most stressful periods of their lives.
  • The healthcare system relies on our services and support to help them focus on treating children in their care. We also free up hospital beds when children are discharged to stay overnight at Ronald McDonald House and return for treatment through the day.
  • The education system relies on our Ronald McDonald House Learning Program to help sick children maintain their education and learning.
