What people with Epilepsy in Glen Waverley usually need help with
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent seizures. People with epilepsy who experience significant functional impact may access NDIS supports including nursing care, personal care, support workers, and seizure management training. Not all seizures look the same, and providers who work with people with epilepsy should have up-to-date seizure first aid training and a clear Seizure Management Plan on file before they start working with a new participant.
For chronic and complex medical conditions, the best starting point is usually identifying whether the main need is nursing, personal care, therapy, or a flexible combination, then comparing local providers who can adjust support when symptoms change.
What people usually compare locally
- • Availability of nursing or clinical staff with experience in the specific condition
- • Flexibility to adjust support at short notice during symptom changes
- • Coordination with local GPs, specialists, and hospital services
- • Whether the provider can deliver both personal care and clinical support through one service

Understanding Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects approximately 250,000 Australians. Seizures vary enormously: some people experience brief absence seizures that last a few seconds, while others have tonic-clonic seizures involving loss of consciousness and convulsions. Epilepsy is often well managed with medication, but around 30% of people have drug-resistant epilepsy that continues to cause seizures despite treatment. For those with significant functional impact, the NDIS provides support including nursing care, support workers, safety equipment, and therapy. The condition does not just affect the moments of a seizure. The fear of when the next one will happen, driving restrictions, employment limitations, medication side effects, and memory difficulties can all have a major effect on quality of life.
How epilepsy affects daily life
Epilepsy affects daily life through the seizures themselves and through the restrictions they create. Many people cannot drive, which limits employment and independence. The unpredictability of seizures creates anxiety about being alone, particularly during activities like bathing, cooking, or swimming. Post-seizure recovery can take hours or days. Medication side effects often include fatigue, cognitive slowing, and mood changes. Memory and concentration difficulties are common even between seizures. For people with drug-resistant epilepsy, the daily impact can be severe, requiring someone nearby at all times for safety.
What to look for in a provider
Good epilepsy providers ensure that every worker supporting the person has current seizure first aid training and access to the person's Seizure Management Plan. Ask how they train their staff on seizure types (not all seizures look like convulsions), whether they can manage emergency medication (like midazolam), and how they balance safety with independence. Red flags include providers who have no seizure management protocol, whose workers have not received epilepsy-specific training, or who respond to seizure risk by restricting activities rather than managing risk proportionally.
How to access funding
Epilepsy is on the NDIS List B, requiring evidence of permanent and significant functional impairment. A neurologist's report documenting the seizure type, frequency, and functional impact is the primary evidence needed. Well-controlled epilepsy with no residual functional impact is unlikely to meet NDIS criteria, but drug-resistant epilepsy with associated risks, restrictions, and secondary effects usually does. Plans are reviewed annually. Epilepsy Action Australia can provide guidance on the NDIS access process and connecting with support services.
