Epilepsy Care

Trained support workers who understand seizure management.

Living with epilepsy should not mean living small. With support workers who understand seizure management, participants can do more at home and in the community while families worry less.

Every participant has an individual seizure management plan. Our workers are trained to follow it: recognising warning signs, responding correctly during a seizure, recording what happened and knowing exactly when to call for medical help.

What this can include

  • Workers trained in seizure recognition and first aid
  • Support following your seizure management plan
  • Medication prompts and monitoring
  • Seizure recording and reporting
  • Support to attend activities safely
  • Overnight and extended supports where needed
