The Ronald McDonald Learning Program assists school-aged children with serious illnesses and injuries to catch up on missed education, following recovery.
Providing a suite of educational support services, including therapy sessions and one-on-one tutorials with experienced teachers, we aim to build each child’s confidence and self-esteem in preparation for their return to the classroom.

The Ronald McDonald Bridge the Education Gap Program assists school-aged students who are missing school due to illness or injury.
Through generous donor support, we offer support to students who have been discharged from hospital but are medically unable to return to school. Bridging the Educational Gap between hospital, home and school, qualified tutors provide two sessions of tutoring each week for a short-term capacity, until students are able to transition back to school.
Delivered online, learning goals are collaboratively established between hospital schools, students, base schools and parents. All services are free to families thanks to funding from our generous supporters.
The Ronald McDonald Learning Program (RMLP) is a national program assisting school aged children with serious physical illness and injury catch up on their learning. We believe that every school aged child has the right to achieve to their full potential.
The RMLP looks at all aspects of a child’s learning by providing a suite of support which can include comprehensive assessment, therapy and tuition with qualified professionals. All services are provided free to families and schools thanks to the funding from generous supporters of RMHC.
Each program is tailored depending upon the child’s needs, location and family situation. Most children will receive up to four school terms of one-on-one tuition with a qualified and registered teacher, along with speech and/or occupational therapy if required.
The Ronald McDonald Learning Program gives teachers a chance to help seriously ill kids catch up on their missed education. Teachers are paid on an hourly basis to tutor students recovering from illness at the student’s school or local community facility. Each student receives up to 40 weeks of tutoring, usually completed for an hour each week over four school terms.
Planning for the return of a student who has suffered a serious physical illness or injury can present challenges for teaching staff. EDMed® is a free, two hour professional development session.
