Epilepsy Australia member associations provide responsive education and training programs, including sessions to community organizations, health and welfare groups, disability and aged care service providers, businesses, education providers, students, state institutions and other groups. Programs cover a range of topics and can be tailored to suit the education and training needs of individual organizations, if required.
Requests for education and training sessions for students, staff members and parents in a range of educational environments are welcome. Epilepsy Australia's interactive approach is tailored to specific requests and situations, particularly in catering for children with epilepsy in the classroom and the administration of emergency medication for the control of seizures.

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.
