We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital programs for families with seriously ill children and mothers experiencing high-risk pregnancy from across NSW.
Ronald McDonald House Central West opened in 2015, within the grounds of Orange Health Service. Our House in Orange supports families from across NSW who have a child aged 18 and under, needing treatment at Orange’s three hospitals. In 2024 our services grew to include a Hospitality Cart program in the Dubbo Hospital that supports families with children in the Paediatric Ware and Special Care Nursery.
Our accommodation, programs and services are provided free of charge to the families – helping them when they need it most. We strive to serve more families, better and enable parents and carers to stay close to each other and vital treatment in the Central West.
We are supported by over 130 volunteers who dedicate their time to our families by keeping the house open and running 365 days of the year.
