Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia is an independent charity that aims to keep families together and close to the healthcare their child needs. With a mission to directly impact the health and wellbeing of children and their families, RMHC creates, finds, and supports programs to provide essential care and support in communities across the country. Their range of programs and services include 18 Ronald McDonald Houses, which provide accommodation and support for families who have to travel far from home for medical care.

They also offer 19 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms located in hospitals, where carers can rest, recharge, and be just moments away from their child's bedside. Additionally, RMHC operates 5 Family Retreats in idyllic locations, providing holiday accommodation for families to relax and reconnect. RMHC Australia also runs the Ronald McDonald Learning Program, which helps sick children catch up on missed education, and offers various other support programs.

Since its establishment in Australia in 1981, RMHC has grown to become a trusted and impactful organization, supporting over 40,000 families each year. With the help of generous community members, partners, staff, and volunteers, RMHC Australia envisions a world where all children have access to medical care and their families are actively involved in their care
