134,000 Australians experience the unpredictable and often debilitating effect of epilepsy. More still have seizures provoked by triggers like sudden high fever or concussion.

Meeting their needs is the principle aim of national not-for-profit organisation Epilepsy Action.

Epilepsy Action provides education and support services to children and adults with epilepsy or other seizure disorders across Australia.

Our vision is that all Australians affected by seizures will have the opportunity to live confident lives.

Our team of highly qualified registered nurses and educators is equipped with a rich base of technical expertise, built up during five decades of services to the community.

Services include:

Individual service programs
We help to meet the specific needs of an individual and their family. This includes help in managing seizures and opportunities to meet others affected by seizures through 'peer support' programs.

Community and professional education programs
Our programs for schools, police, nurses and other community groups raise awareness of epilepsy and first-aid to assist some one who has a seizure.

Information and referral services
This equips individuals, families and community groups with knowledge about epilepsy as well as connecting them with other groups that can help.
