Family feels comforted and supported by our volunteers.

Discover the joy of volunteering

Volunteers are the heart of everything we do—and families feel that care every day.

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, we have walked alongside families throughout their child’s healthcare journey. Our volunteers make this possible, whether by offering a warm welcome at Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Westmead or the Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Family Room at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, or by bringing moments of comfort through our Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Hospitality Carts operating at 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. If you’re ready to make a meaningful difference, we’d love to hear from you.
