Childhood illness can have a devastating effect on families. As well as all the fear and uncertainty, there are the practicalities of managing the family when a child is away in hospital, often for extended periods of time. At Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®), we have been making life easier for seriously ill children and their families in Australia since 1981.
RMHC has a wide range of programs to help seriously ill children and their families across Australia, all focused on making the journey to recovery as easy as possible.
Ronald McDonald House Wagga Wagga opened in March 2005.
Since opening, we have welcomed families from throughout the Riverina, South West Slopes and beyond while their children receive medical treatment in Wagga Wagga.
We are located at 300 Edward Street Wagga Wagga one block from Wagga Wagga Base Hospital and Calvary Hospital and the Calvary Day Procedure Surgery.
The House is also located in close proximity to specialist consulting rooms and the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Dental Clinic.
Our special House provides a home away from home for families with sick or injured children, and expectant mothers, receiving medical treatment or attending medical appointments in Wagga Wagga, enabling families to stay together. Day use of the house is also available for families.
