Ronald McDonald House ACT & South East NSW We are a children's charity supporting families with seriously ill or injured children in hospitals

We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital programs for families with seriously ill children. RMHC ACT & South East NSW was established in 2012 as part of the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children in Canberra, where our House is located. Ronald McDonald House Canberra, our Canberra Family Room and our Bateman’s Bay Family Retreat provide families throughout the ACT and South East NSW region with warm and welcoming places to stay, get support or relax and recharge, while going through the difficult journey of childhood illness. Through our accommodation and support services, we strive to keep families together when life gets turned upside down due to a child’s illness. Our RMHC ACT & SE NSW Chapter relies on support from our local community to keep our doors open and to continue to support families with sick or injured children. You can help us continue to support families when they need it most by making a tax-deductible financial donation to our registered charity, making an in-kind donation for the families we serve, participating in one of our fundraising events, organising a fundraising drive, "adopting" a night, cooking a meal for our families ( ), sponsoring a room, entering into a corporate/charity partnership, or more. Get in touch with us today to find out how you can help us in . Visit our website rmhcact.org.au for more information and to get involved.

What a community. ❤️

A huge thank you to Canberra Brave, their incredible supporters and our McDonald’s partners for getting behind Ronald McDonald House ACT & South East NSW at an unforgettable game day back in August.

We were so excited to catch up with the Canberra Brave team again this week and reflect on just how much the community achieved together.

Not only did supporters fill the stands and cheer on an incredible team, together you helped raise more than $6,000 through the jersey auction and fundraising on the day, supporting local kids and families navigating hospitalisation and treatment.

There were plenty of glamorous red wigs sold along the way too. ❤️

Every dollar raised helps us continue surrounding families with the practical support, care and connection they need so they can stay close to their child when it matters most.

To Canberra Brave, our McDonald’s partners, every bidder, donor, supporter and proud red-wig wearer: thank you for showing what community power looks like.

We already can’t wait for the next season.

Go Brave! 🏒❤️

Applications are now open for the 2026 Charlie Bell Scholarship! 🎓️ ⭐️

A serious illness or injury can disrupt education, career plans, and future goals. The Charlie Bell Scholarship exists to help young people get back on track and pursue their aspirations by providing one-off grants of up to $5,000.

The scholarship is available to young people aged 15 to 20 years who have experienced a serious illness or injury and are eligible to attend a tertiary or vocational education institution, such as a university, college, or TAFE.

Scholarship funding can help cover expenses such as university fees, apprenticeship tools, books, supplies, and other educational costs, making it easier for recipients to continue their studies and work towards their goals.

Established in honour of the late Charlie Bell, former Global CEO of McDonald's, the scholarship supports young people to move forward with confidence after facing significant health challenges.

📅 Applications close 30 November 2026.
