Non-Resident Families

Support services for patient families at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead

Supporting non-resident families, every day

To extend our care beyond those staying at Ronald McDonald House Westmead, our non-resident family programs offer comfort, respite, connection, and practical support when they need it most.

Ronald McDonald House Westmead is open during the day to welcome all families whose children are receiving treatment at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead (CHW).

Within CHW, the Ronald McDonald House Family Room is also open seven days a week for families to rest and recharge, just moments away from their child’s bedside.

Ronald McDonald House GWS Family Room

A comforting sanctuary for families inside The Children’s Hospital at Westmead

"Ronald McDonald House has been a source of community, a place to relax, and somewhere to escape the hustle and bustle of the hospital and to let our guard down. We lived locally and weren't staying at the House, but our unique story was recognised and we were given a chance to stay for dinners, use the gym facilities, stay for Day Pass, and felt cared for in a way that was helpful to us."
