Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia improves the health and well-being of seriously ill children and their families through practical care programs. The geographic reach of our region extends from Torres Strait, south to Mackay and west to Mount Isa and Camooweal at the NT border, but we also help care for interstate and overseas families. Located at Townsville Hospital, our hospital-adjacent House can accommodate over 100 people each night. The average length of stay for these families is 2-3 months. We assist with travel, clothing, food and other essentials that families need during a medical emergency. We also operate a Ronald McDonald Family Room at Townsville University Hospital, a Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Palm Cove, the Ronald McDonald Learning Program across North Queensland and the Northern Territory and our Hospitality Cart at Mount Isa Base Hospital. We rely on local community support to care for our sick kids and their families when they need it most. Find out more about our practical care programs here: www.rmhc.org.au/na
