Centenary Hospital for Women & Children, Canberra
Our Ronald McDonald House helps ensure families can stay together while their child receives medical care.
Located within the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children, Ronald McDonald House ACT & South East NSW provides a warm and welcoming home away from home where families can stay, rest and find support during their child’s treatment.
Each year, more than 180 families stay with us in Canberra. Our comfortable family bedrooms with ensuites offer a safe and private space to rest, while shared areas create opportunities for connection, support and moments of comfort with others navigating similar journeys.
Here, families can pause, recharge and focus on what matters most, being there for their child when they need them.
