Family Rooms

Small moments of care matter. Our Family Rooms, steps away from paediatric or intensive care units, offer a calm space where your family can take a moment to breathe. 

Run by our friendly volunteers, you can enjoy a cup of tea or a meal, play, take a shower, connect as a family, or simply rest, so you can regain the strength needed to be there for your child.

Our team

Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are run by a dedicated team of volunteers, under the leadership of our Family Room Program Coordinators.

We're open to everyone

We want to make sure families have a home-away-from-home inside the Hospital, away from the clinical environment of the ward. That’s why our Family Room is free and open to all families whose children are undergoing treatment within the hospital.

Visiting us is free

Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are free of charge. Thanks to generous donations, families have a space away from the wards to simply be together.
