Our Programs
We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital programs for families with ill and injured children.
Caring for sick and injured children is a traumatic experience for any family. Having to travel long distances, away from your home and your community, often for an unseen amount of time, only exacerbates this trauma. Thanks to the support of our local community, RMHC North Australia can provide families with a home away from home in their greatest time of need.
Today, the Charity operates five programs across the North Australia region; from the tip of Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands, south to Mackay, west to Mount Isa, up through the Northern Territory, and everywhere else in between. Last year we proudly cared for 12,866 families across all of our programs, and grew our services with the addition of two new RMHC Hospitality Carts operating in both Darwin and Townsville. Thanks to the continued support of our Mission, this year in February, we celebrated a significant milestone with the launch of a fourth RMHC Hospitality Cart to service the children and families at Mackay Base Hospital.
