Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)

At Epilepsy Australia we have, since 1997, actively worked to communicate awareness of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in a practical and non-alarmist way. And we continue to do so. If you have suffered a bereavement due to SUDEP, Epilepsy Australia has experienced counsellors who can help at this time.

For assistance and information, please call 1300 852 853
or email sudep@epilepsyaustralia.net

Nathan Jolliffe raises 80k for Epilepsy Australia

While Nathan didn't win the title of Celebrity Apprentice Australia, he won the hearts of all Australians living with epilepsy.

With the final going down to the wire, Ian 'Dicko' Dickson pipped Nathan at the post in the final challenge to create the best music video for their charity song. In accepting his win, Dicko showed great generosity of spirit, when he asked that the winning prize of 100k be split between their charities.  His admiration for Nathan was evident throughout the show, and his wonderful gesture acknowledged how hard both contestants fought for the title. Epilepsy Australia congratulates Dicko on his win and thanks him for his awesome gesture.

Nathan's appearance on Celebrity Apprentice Australia has raised a total of 80k for Epilepsy Australia which will help us continue to help people living with epilepsy Australia-wide.  We congratulate Nathan on being such a wonderful Ambassador for Epilepsy Australia.
