Ronald McDonald House Charities South East Queensland

Ronald McDonald House Charities South East Queensland (RMHC SEQ) provides accommodation and support services for seriously ill children and their families attending treating hospitals in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. Our Ronald McDonald Houses help to preserve the family unit in the midst of physical, emotional and financial stress. It also gives parents the chance to draw hope and comfort from other families in similar situations, while being supported by dedicated and friendly staff and volunteers. RMHC SEQ currently has three houses in Brisbane; one at Herston beside the Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital, one at South Brisbane near the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital (LCCH) and Mater Mothers Hospital and a House in LCCH which provides 10 emergency overnight accommodation rooms. The organisation also has Ronald McDonald Family Rooms located inside the Gold Coast University Hospital and LCCH. RMHC SEQ also operates the South East Queensland division of the Ronald McDonald Learning Program which helps children with serious illness catch up on their missed education following lengthy hospital stays and absence from school.
