20,000 Tasmanians have epilepsy and an additional 80,000 family members, colleagues, and friends are affected in some way.
One-fifth of Tasmania’s population is touched by epilepsy, yet the condition still has an unfortunate stigma that causes much hurt and frustration,
51% of Tasmanians with epilepsy have experienced discrimination as a result of their condition during the last year.
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.
