Leading Education and Training

Our Online Academy provides practical information and tools delivered through an easy-to-understand and user-friendly interactive format.

The training available covers general awareness courses for people with epilepsy and their families, as well as accredited courses for health professionals (e.g. GPs, registered nurses) and community service workers.

At the Forefront of Promising Research

As the oldest and largest nationwide provider of specialist services for people with epilepsy, Epilepsy Action remains at the forefront of research into the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

We fund and support the latest studies, including clinical trials of medicinal cannabis, and work collaboratively across many sectors and industries to advance our collective thinking, knowledge and direction.

Greater Public Awareness

Ignorance and fear about epilepsy and seizures still exist nationwide but through our public awareness campaigns and wider community education on seizure first aid and response, we are gradually moving towards replacing stigma and discrimination with compassion and understanding.

“It is estimated that over 250,000 Australians are living with epilepsy and approximately 3% of Australians will experience the condition at some point in their lives.”
