Ronald McDonald Family Room Wollongong Hospital

A welcoming space to rest and recharge

When your child is in the hospital, being close matters. Our Family Room offers a peaceful space for families to rest, recharge, and care for themselves, just moments from their child’s bedside.  

Staffed by compassionate volunteers, the Family Room allows you to step away from the clinical environment of the ward and into our warm, welcoming and comfortable homely space to enjoy a cup of tea, have a snack/meal, take a short nap, shower or launder your clothes.
