SAFE Schools Program

Thank you for registering your interest in the SAFE Schools Program.

Your school is now part of a locally funded initiative that could truly change lives.

Developed by Epilepsy Action Australia, this free program provides educators and students with engaging, age-appropriate tools to better understand epilepsy, respond safely to seizures, and foster a more inclusive school environment.

Every resource you explore here helps build a safer, more supportive space for children living with epilepsy — and empowers your school community to respond with confidence and compassion.
