Our mission is to enhance the well-being of children, families and their communities with programs that accommodate, support and educate. Situated just a 5 minute walk to the Women's & Children's Hospital in North Adelaide, our House can accommodate up to 20 families in both a communal or self-contained style accommodation. It is a place of care and understanding ~ a place where families can remain together as a family unit in times of great stress and uncertainty. When a family has a sick or injured child, they leave their extended family, friends and community support network for treatment programs which can be long, with Ronald McDonald House becoming home for months. For others, treatment can be lifelong with regular, shorter stays. Whatever the need, these families find friendship, advocacy and support here with Ronald McDonald House being their safe haven.
