Welcome to Ronald McDonald House Charities Western Australia. We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital programs for families with seriously ill children. About Our Chapter Our Chapter introduced the very first Ronald McDonald House in Western Australia in Subiaco in 1990. While our original House is no longer running, since then, we have opened the doors to our state-of-the-art 47 bedroom House in Nedlands, and a 14 bedroom House inside Perth Children’s Hospital. We have supported sick children and their families for over 29 years. 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 Ronald McDonald Houses and Programs are run by a tirelessly hard working team of staff and volunteers, aided by the generous support of our donors, sponsors and corporate partners.
