Helping Tasmanians With Epilepsy For Over 45 Years
Epilepsy Tasmania is a not-for-profit community organisation improving the quality of life of Tasmanians with epilepsy, and those around them, through education, coordination and support.
20,000 Tasmanians have epilepsy which impacts around 80,000 family members, colleagues and friends.
One-fifth of Tasmania’s population is affected by epilepsy, but this condition still has a stigma that causes hurt and frustration.
51% of Tasmanians with epilepsy experienced discrimination due to epilepsy this last year.
“As a first time mum AND first time having any contact with epilepsy (let alone my little newborn!) it’s safe to say we were thrown in the deep end. Epilepsy Tasmania has been the life ring that kept us afloat”
Joanna, mum of Theo who lives with epilepsy
