Located within the grounds of Bloomfield Campus, and easy walking distance to Orange Health Service, Ronald McDonald Central West enables families staying with us the opportunity to stay close to treatment that their child needs. 

Staying at Ronald McDonald House Central West is free for our families which eases the financial stress of being away from home while their child is ill or injured.
