We create a Queensland that is aware of epilepsy and its impacts on daily life, a Queensland that is seizure smart, who can recognise and respond to seizures.  At Epilepsy Queensland, we openly share our knowledge, we advocate to those who can influence change and partner with industry leading research and medical institutes to further the advances of epilepsy care in Queensland.
