Parent Accommodation

Overnight in the ward
Staff in many wards of the Royal Children’s Hospital encourage parents to stay overnight in the ward.

One parent may stay overnight

Parents may not use their child’s bed/cot for sleeping.
Parents must talk with the staff in their child’s ward if they would like to stay overnight.

 

Accommodation near to the hospital
Originally the Women's Auxiliary of the Royal Children's Hospital, Cressbrook Committee, a community of volunteers since 1962, provides extra amenities for the hospital’s patients and staff and manages Leonard Lodge for the district.

Leonard Lodge’s 38 units provide inexpensive accommodation for the Queensland country families who have children in the Royal Children’s Hospital. Leonard Lodge supports the District to deliver services to families across the State.
 
Parents from outside Brisbane should speak with the Welfare Officer on 07 3636 7397 before their child’s admission to discuss if and how they might access special accommodation in Ronald McDonald House or Leonard Lodge.
