Visiting the Family Room
Take a break together at the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Royal North Shore Hospital.
Our Ronald McDonald Family Room offers respite for you and your family while visiting or staying with a child in hospital. Step away from the ward and into our Family Room, where you’ll find full kitchen and bathroom facilities, complimentary refreshments and a comfortable family lounge and dining area to relax.
Our Team
Our Ronald McDonald Family Room is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, all under the leadership of our Program Manager – Family Room and Volunteers, Dianne Mangley.
Eligibility
We want to make sure families have a home-away-from-home inside the Hospital, away from the clinical environment of the ward. That’s why our Family Room is free and open to all families whose children are undergoing inpatient or outpatient treatment in the Paediatric Ward of the Royal North Shore Hospital.
Fees
Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are free of charge. Thanks to generous donations, families have a space away from the wards to relax and simply be together. If you would like to offer support or make a donation of goods to our Family Room, please contact our House.
