Ronald McDonald House Central West NSW first opened for families in 2015 and so far we have supported over 1800 families from across NSW.
Our services now include Dubbo, with a Hospitality Cart launched in 2024, supporting families with a child in the Paediatric and Special Care Nursery.
In 1981 children’s charities were forever changed in Australia when the first Ronald McDonald House opened its doors in NSW. Since then, the charity has grown to 18 Houses across the country as well as 18 Family Rooms, 5 Family Retreats, 1 Care Mobile and our National Learning Program.
Our first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia, PA, USA, in 1974, after recognizing the need for parents to stay close to their hospitalized child. As we opened more House programs around the world, it became clear that caring for the family of a sick child was as important as caring for the child.
