Staying at the house
Ronald McDonald House located inside QLD Children’s Hospital gives seriously ill children the best gift of all – their families. Our House is a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of children who are inpatients at the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.
We are one of the few Ronald McDonald Houses located in the hospital building. Our aim is to give parents and carers of critically ill children peace of mind, knowing that they are close-by to comfort their child whenever they are needed. We are a small but comfortable and modern facility, with 10 guest rooms, beverage bay and communal pantry and a lounge and TV area.
