Keeping families together during challenging times is at the heart of what we do at RMHC Sydney. We offer a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for parents and families with seriously ill children who need to travel to Randwick for their child’s treatment.
Booking Your Stay
Staying with us is a comforting option during what can be an incredibly stressful time. To request accommodation, please reach out to us directly. Alternatively, you can coordinate your stay through your local Patient Assisted Travel Scheme (PATS) office or your Social Worker. We try our best to meet the needs of all families, but please note that accommodation is subject to availability.
Priority for Accommodation
While we strive to accommodate all families in need, priority is given to those who:
– Have children recently diagnosed with a serious illness
– Have children who are seriously injured or require emergency treatment
– Are traveling long distances from home for their child’s care
Our goal is to ensure that families can stay close to their children, providing the love and support that is so crucial during medical treatment.
Who’s Eligible to Stay?
Our primary mission is to provide safe, reliable short- and long-term accommodation for families who need to travel away from home to receive medical treatment at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick. We welcome families facing the challenge of a child’s serious illness, offering them a place of comfort and respite.
Fees
We understand that medical treatments can place significant financial strain on families. That’s why we offer our accommodation free of charge to eligible families with ill or injured children. While our policy is to provide free accommodation, you may need to complete the relevant Patient Assisted Travel Scheme (PATS) paperwork during your stay. Our friendly team is here to assist you with any paperwork and to make your stay as smooth as possible.
Contact Us
To learn more or to book your stay, please contact RMHC Sydney directly or speak with your Social Worker or local PATS office. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can support them all throughout their journey.
