Tasmanias Voice for Epilepsy
Not-for-Profit Pending VerificationEpilepsy Tasmania has been part of the Tasmanian community since 1975, providing support and assistance to people affected by epilepsy. Based in Tasmania, this not-for-profit group focuses on improving daily life for Tasmanians living with epilepsy and their families. Through practical education sessions, guidance, and connection with local services, the organisation helps individuals and carers navigate life with epilepsy.
Community Connections
Epilepsy Tasmania maintains close links with schools, workplaces, and healthcare providers across the state. Staff and volunteers run local workshops, hold awareness events, and facilitate support groups. Their approach is hands-on, whether that’s answering questions about epilepsy management, helping someone find specialist medical advice, or equipping community members to respond confidently during a seizure.
Everyday Support and Education
Day-to-day, Epilepsy Tasmania works directly with people who feel isolated or unsure about where to turn for help. The organisation coordinates information resources, both online and in person. They tailor their education to meet a range of ages and abilities, ensuring that children and adults get the support they need. For those living rurally or with limited transport options, Epilepsy Tasmania offers flexible ways to access training or advice.
For over four decades, the organisation has focused on ensuring that no Tasmanian faces epilepsy alone. They are often seen in the community running local events, meeting with families, and connecting people to life-changing services. Their presence offers practical help as well as hope, whether that’s through direct support or by making information about epilepsy easier for everyone in Tasmania to understand.
