The Epilepsy Foundation uses evidence-based practice to stop avoidable deaths, ensure children get a good education, help people get and keep their jobs and help people feel safe and connected. A good understanding of epilepsy is the key to achieving these outcomes. The Epilepsy Foundation believes no one with epilepsy should go it alone.
Why us
Even though epilepsy is one of the most common brain disorders across the world, there is still a lot of misunderstanding about what epilepsy is and what it is like to live with. At the Epilepsy Foundation, we believe that understanding is the key to promoting better quality of life for people living with epilepsy – through reducing stigma and discrimination, providing better support for those with epilepsy and their families, and promoting research into reducing unnecessary deaths due to epilepsy and one day finding a cure.
We believe that no one with epilepsy should go it alone.
We Are Creating an Epilepsy Smart Australia
Research shows that, despite the condition’s prevalence, ninety percent of Australians don’t have access to the epilepsy support they need.
With support from the Australian Government, the Epilepsy Foundation will take our work to a national scale through a new program titled Epilepsy Smart Australia. We are expanding our delivery of services that will reduce the chronic health impacts experienced by Australians of all ages living with epilepsy.
We Support People Living with Epilepsy
No one with epilepsy should go it alone. Every case of epilepsy is unique and everyone with epilepsy will need some form of support in their life.
The Epilepsy Foundation works to ensure that:
all people with epilepsy have access to information relevant to their age and condition
employers understand epilepsy and how to respond to the needs of their people living with epilepsy
teachers understand children’s epilepsy and how to ensure they achieve a better education
people understand and manage their epilepsy well
society understands epilepsy so that people with the condition feel connected and included in the community.
