About Us

Epilepsy affects as many as 2% of Queenslanders. There are more people with epilepsy than with muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease and several others combined. Epilepsy is recognised as the world's most common serious brain disorder (WHO, 1997). While in most cases it is diagnosed during the school years, epilepsy may affect anyone at anytime.

Since 1969, Epilepsy Queensland Inc has been dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with epilepsy and their carers/families through advocacy, research, support and information. Considerable effort is put into increasing public awareness and raising community understanding of epilepsy.
