Create a safe and epilepsy-friendly workplace for staff and customers.

Epilepsy Smart Workplace Training helps staff and volunteers understand epilepsy and seizure first-aid.

1 in 25 Australians will develop epilepsy during their life, directly impacting four times as many family members, colleagues, carers and friends – that’s one-fifth of Tasmania’s population!

52% of Tasmanians have experienced discrimination at work or school as a result of epilepsy.

Epilepsy Smart Workplace Training will demystify the condition of epilepsy, explain associated risks and seizure first-aid, and provide suggestions on creating a more epilepsy-friendly workplace for staff, visitors and customers.
