Serve more Western Australian families, better.
Serve more Western Australian families, better.
Each year more families with ill or injured children reach out to Ronald McDonald House WA beyond our capacity. Together in partnership with WA Government, Lotterywest, and the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation, we have undertaken a bold strategy in the aim that no family is turned away at their time of need.
The opening of Ronald McDonald House on Park as a temporary house solution was a significant milestone in our growth strategy. Our next and most significant milestone is the expansion of the Ronald McDonald House at QEII.
In 2024, WA Government invested a further $2.5 million to support a business case and development plan for a major extension of Ronald McDonald House at QEII, with the aim to deliver accommodation for an additional 75 families a day from late 2028; transitioning families at Ronald McDonald House on Park to a renewed, bigger QEII House.
Our vision for Ronald McDonald House at QEII is to establish a world-class example of family centric accommodation and essential services that support the Western Australian maternity, child and adolescent health systems
Our journey for expansion began where it matters most; with our families, our people, our hospital partners and valued stakeholders. In 2024, a 3 month online and in-person consultation program set the foundation for a bigger, better Ronald McDonald House at QEII Medical Centre.
Co-designed with Aboriginal health stakeholders and informed by community input, our architects, Hames Sharley has designed a 75-room ‘home-away-from-home’ to support more families, better.
In 2025, our comprehensive capital funding business case demonstrated the need and demand for our essential service to regional families, as well as the benefits to hospital partners and the broader health system, securing a $50 million pre-election commitment from the Cook Labor Government through WA Health and Lotterywest.
A campaign driven by both heart and measurable socio-economic return now offers West Australian corporate partners and philanthropic foundations the opportunity to help build a bigger, better Ronald McDonald House for decades to come.
