Discover the joy of volunteering

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our support to families.

Volunteering with Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney is more than just lending a hand; it’s becoming part of a compassionate community that uplifts families during their most challenging times. 

For more than 40 years, Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney has been a pillar of support for families with children who are ill or injured, offering comfort and care throughout their child’s healthcare journey. Our volunteers have always been at the heart of this mission, whether it’s through giving a warm welcome at Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Westmead or Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Family Room at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, or providing a moment of comfort through the Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Hospitality Carts operating in The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Nepean Hospital, and Campbelltown Hospital.

As our services continue to grow to meet the increasing needs of families, so too does our need for compassionate individuals willing to lend their time and hearts of gold. To learn more about becoming a volunteer, we’d love to hear from you through the form below or at (02) 9806 7111.
