Introducing the next special edition instalment of our Thinking Outside the Box Epilepsy Symposium - 'Why Neuro Matters: A Symposium on the Future of Neurological Care'.

This September, we're bringing you a FREE webinar that will dive into the latest advancements in epilepsy and neurological care, including the Neuro Matters Report, the development of Neuro Wellness Hubs in Queensland and a groundbreaking trial in epilepsy care.

Instead of the usual full-day Symposium format, this event will feature just two keynote speakers and a Q&A panel with an additional lived experience guest. The webinar will be available to stream across Australia, so you'll be able to tune in from almost anywhere!

Don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to hear about the neurological care landscape, and what these latest developments will mean for the 1 in 4 Australians living with epilepsy and other neurological conditions.

Register before Wednesday, 3 September to go into the ballot for a spot in the Brisbane live audience.

Say hello to Chantelle! 👋

As the newest member of our team, Chantelle is stepping into the role of Partnerships and Fundraising Lead.

She'll be working on all the fantastic events and campaigns we have on the calendar, like Walk for Epilepsy, Bridge to Brisbane, and more. Plus, she'll be spreading the word about our cause with corporate partners to help strengthen our organisation and amplify our message.

While she doesn't have a personal connection to epilepsy, she's excited to get amongst our community, hear their stories and learn more about this complex condition and its impact.

We're so excited to have her on the team! Drop her some well wishes in the comments below 👇

Welcome to Epilepsy Queensland

Epilepsy Queensland is dedicated to optimising the quality of life of people with epilepsy and their carers/families through information, support, counselling, education, training, NDIS support, advocacy and research. We also offer in-service training and workshops for health, disability and education organisations so they are better placed to help people with epilepsy.

We aim to increase public awareness and raise community understanding of epilepsy. Epilepsy occurs in one in 50 people and yet there are many misconceptions. Our National campaign to raise awareness occurs in March each year culminating in Purple Day on 26 March. On our page throughout the year we share our members epilepsy stories, information, epilepsy facts and news to help break down the misconceptions and bring epilepsy out of the shadows.

Rugby League legend Wally Lewis is our Patron. Following the successful release of his book ‘Out of the Shadows’ detailing his journey with epilepsy, Wally became a great ambassador for Epilepsy Queensland and an advocate for people living with epilepsy.
