Family Retreats
Our Ronald McDonald Family Retreats offer a welcomed sanctuary for families with sick or injured kids to reconnect, relax and enjoy time together; an experience most of us often take for granted.
Eligible families can enjoy up to one week of free accommodation at a Ronald McDonald Family Retreat. It’s an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy time together in each other’s company, an important part of the healing process as well as family-centred care.

Testimonials
“We have just had the most amazing week away. We had time at the beach and Georgie had her first ever dip in the ocean. A wonderful moment for us all. It has been almost two years since we have had time away as a family and we truly enjoyed some quality time together.” Leah Allen (Bunbury Family Retreat)
“Just wanted to say thank you so much for our holiday at the RMHC WA Family Retreat in Busselton. We have had a tough six months being in and out of hospital with Samantha, so it was well overdue! We had a fantastic time! Thank you again!” Roxann Campbell (Busselton Family Retreat)
