the opportunity

Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney is a 'home away from home' for seriously ill children and their families.

When families have to travel far from home to receive specialised medical care for their sick child, seeking accommodation in an unfamiliar place only adds to their stress and anxiety. Though there is no place like home, Ronald McDonald House GWS strives to provide a safe and comfortable environment where the whole family can stay together for the duration of their child's treatment.

The volunteers in our programs are the heart and soul of our House and we would not be able to deliver on our mission of supporting the ever changing needs of seriously ill children and their families without them.

• Develop and implement a volunteer recruitment strategy for the Chapter in line with Chapter needs and requirements
