At Ronald McDonald House, we’re honoured to have been your home-away-from-home, and we hope your time with us brought a sense of comfort during a challenging time in your family’s journey. We want to continue providing this care to many more families – and you can help make that possible.
As a community supported organisation, we rely on the generous support of our wonderful community, enabling us to provide the warm bed that you and your family slept in, resting your minds after a busy day at the hospital or attending appointments, a comfortable space for you and your family to watch a movie together, or the fully equipped kitchen where you made your family favourites to make the place feel a little more like home.
There are many ways you can help us support more families like yours, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
Donations, whether once-off or monthly – are the lifeblood of what we do. Donations allow us to keep our doors open and provide everything from freshly made beds to equipped kitchens. Every donation is tax-deductible, and you’ll receive a receipt via email.
When you stayed with us, you may have noticed plaques on room doors, these are the generous people and organisations who “Adopt a Room”.
Your sponsorship helps us:
Adopt a Room sponsorships start at $5,000 and are for a 12-month period. When you adopt a room, you’ll receive a personalised plaque and biannual room impact updates along with family stories who stayed in our house.
Adopt a Room is a wonderful program for you to take back to your workplace and ask them to support families like yours. To find out more about Adopt a Room, please email [email protected], and someone from our team will contact you.
What’s the one meal that made you feel at home during your stay? Every pantry at Ronald McDonald House is set up to help families cook those comforting meals, and they’re made possible by community sponsors.
Your support helps us:
Adopt a Pantry sponsorships are $350 per year and can be paid annually or monthly. As a sponsor, we will give you a dedicated plaque on your Pantry featuring your name or that of a loved one if you wish. This is a special way to show other families that you are with them on their unique journey.
*Please note some sponsorships attract GST if they are undertaken in the name of a business. Please contact us at [email protected] if you are a taking out a sponsorship as a business.
Some families turn their RMHC journey into a fundraiser, and it’s one of the most powerful ways to give.
Families in the past have created fundraisers such as physical challenges or hosting events. There are so many ways you can fundraise for Ronald McDonald House and the most successful are the ones that work best for you and your family.
Do you like to do something physical like run, cycle or swim? Then a simple fundraiser might be the way to go!
It’s easy to start – just register on our DIY Fundraising Page to get your own shareable fundraising page, plus social tiles, posters, and more.
Do you love bringing people together or part of a community group like a school, Rotary or local Sporting Club? Then perhaps you can host a Trivia Night, fancy Luncheon, or even run a Bunnings BBQ in your local community! We’d love to help you run a Community Event.
Community Events are events that are run by you, your club, or school within your local community

Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can support them all throughout their journey.
