Content on epilepsyaustralia.net is to the best of our knowledge both accurate and useful. However, it is not meant to substitute for direct contact with your community based epilepsy association or with appropriate health professionals.
Epilepsy is a complex condition. Discussing your particular situation with your local epilepsy counselor is likely to prove far more useful than relying on the more generalized information disseminated through the internet.

Though originally established by the not-for-profit charity Epilepsy Australia, these sites, at present, cannot be operated by Epilepsy Australia. These domain names were SOLD FOR PROFIT to people to use on a commercial basis.
They are clearly not associated with Epilepsy Australia.
In our view they now contain dangerous, seriously misleading, and offensive advertising material and misinformation.
Any legal action which might result from adverse health outcomes or other harm, should be brought against the people who are currently conducting those sites and /or the Network Solutions who have knowingly sold these sites which are clearly based on our name.
We have informed all parties that the situation is outrageous and unacceptable to Epilepsy Australia.
Epilepsy Australia is attempting to retrieve both sites. Until that occurs Epilepsy Australia cannot accept responsibility for any misinformation, misrepresentation or resulting harm that might happen, or might have already happened.
