Online Education and Training

Why do I need training about epilepsy?

Knowledge and understanding of epilepsy and the many ways it affects people with epilepsy can help you make a huge difference in someone’s life.

Training for people with epilepsy

Family members can access education about epilepsy and training in the administration of emergency medication free of charge.  To find out more about services for people with epilepsy and their families, contact the National Epilepsy Support Service on 1300 761 487 or at support@epilepsysmart.org.au

Training for organisations

Organisations and workplaces that understand epilepsy are better able to provide safe, inclusive environments in which people with epilepsy can work, live and thrive.

Would you know what to do if someone in your organisation or workplace had a seizure and required emergency medication?

Through our Epilepsy Smart training you will gain the knowledge and skills to better understand the needs of people living with epilepsy, support them when they have a seizure, administer emergency medication if required, and reduce the risk of injury.

With 1 in 25 Australians being diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime,

a seizure is not a matter of if, it’s when.
