Opportunities For Corporates And Other Organisations

According to the stats, – 1 in 25 adults are likely to know someone affected by epilepsy. It’s likely that within your organisation, a number of people have their own experience of epilepsy as it affects many Queenslanders, both directly and indirectly.

Approximately 280 Australians will be diagnosed with Epilepsy each week; that will present new challenges, new risks, and quite often, a need to adjust to a “new normal” for the person and their support networks.

In Queensland today, there are 30,000 people living with Epilepsy. It’s a condition, that can strike at any time, and Epilepsy Queensland is ready to offer education, information and assistance, whatever the circumstance.

Epilepsy Queensland’s free services are designed to provide the psychosocial support often missed by the medical and diagnosis processes and to support people and their families through their entire epilepsy journey.

Two-thirds of people who engage with our services feel better educated, understood and confident in managing their conditions, which has a profoundly positive effect on mental health and well-being. It can also lead to a significant reduction in unnecessary emergency calls and hospitalisations.
