The most recent iteration of Epilepsy Queensland's logo was unveiled in 2006. Once again, the symbolism of The Flame remained - a constant reminder of our pledge to be a beacon of hope for those living with epilepsy. Keep your eyes peeled for our fresh new look - coming soon!🤩

"Comorbidity" refers to the presence of more than one diagnosis occurring in a person at the same time. Did you know people with epilepsy can experience comorbid conditions at considerably higher rates than the general population and other chronic conditions?

🤩 NEW LOGO REVEAL 🤩 Our fresh, contemporary logo honours our past while also including some special new elements. We are so proud of our new look and what it represents: an organisation committed to being the beacon of hope for people living with, and impacted by #epilepsy.

We are excited to present to you Epilepsy Queensland's Impact Report for 2020-2021. The report outlines our progress on delivering to our vision of being the beacon of hope for people living with, and impacted by epilepsy in Queensland. bit.ly/ImpactReport-2…
