The Family Room

Please Come and Visit Our Ronald McDonald Family Room!

‘a place to go when you can’t go home’

The Ronald McDonald Family Room within the John Hunter Hospital is the very first of its kind in Australia.

This is a place for families and carers with child patients to take a break and still be near their children. Anyone with a patient in wards; J1, J2, H1, NICU, ICU, Nexus, J2 day or paediatric clinics is welcome to use our facilities.

* Child patients are welcome but must have the approval of the nursing staff.

We are situated just outside Ward J1 and we are open most days 8.00am to 6.00pm, whenever there is a volunteer on duty.
