Megan Gilmour a social innovator wanted to create a world where all children are seen and heard. In Australia, over 1.2 million children are at risk of missing school due to complex medical and mental health challenges.

Megan has advocated for change in education systems for these vulnerable children. She drew on her lived experience to co-found MissingSchool. The organisation develops school solutions that help students continue learning alongside their peers.

MissingSchool launched the world’s first national telepresence service, allowing children in hospital or at home to join lessons in real time.

It has restored school connections for some 6,900 students since 2018.
