A Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are an extension of the Ronald McDonald House programme, providing a haven within the hospital for the families of children undergoing treatment.

The Family Room provides some comforts of home to alleviate the anxiety and frustration of the hospital environment. Families use the Family Room to rest, reflect or even freshen up with a shower.

There is a Family Room in Wellington Hospital managed by the RMH Wellington Trust and one in Starship Children's Hospital run by the RMH Auckland Trust which has 13 bedrooms available for caregivers/parents with a child in high dependency or intensive care units.
