When a child is in hospital, family does whatever it takes to stay.
At Ronald McDonald House Victoria & Tasmania, we give them a community of support, warm meals and a place to rest. Making sure they have everything they need to stay together, connected and keep strong.
Because when a child is in the fight of their lives, family stays and Ronald McDonald House Stays with them.

Your donation helps families stay in their child’s fight
Last year alone, over 3,000 families came to us for help.
Families with sick and injured children need us. As an independent not-for-profit, we need you. We won’t turn them away. The demand for our programs and services has never been greater.
Every dollar helps provide:
- Welcoming accommodation near the hospital, a place to rest, reconnect and stay together.
- Everyday care and home‑like comforts that relieve stress during long hospital stays
- Emotional and practical support from people who understand the journey
- Programs and spaces that remove everyday stress, so families can focus on caring for their ill or injured child
