PURPLE HEROES
2
Make March Purple is an annual initiative that raises awareness and funds to support people living with epilepsy in Australia. In 2025, the theme is ‘Purple Heroes’, which aims to celebrate those facing the challenges of epilepsy daily, including people with epilepsy, parents and carers, doctors and neurologists, teachers and so on.
You are encouraged to be a Purple Hero and take on a Purple Challenge to show your support. All funds raised are donated to development and delivery of vital epilepsy support services, education and training, and research into finding a cure.
Established in 1952, Epilepsy Action Australia is the leading national provider of specialist epilepsy services for people living with epilepsy, their families, healthcare practitioners, and the broader community including support workers and teachers. Epilepsy Action Australia drives positive change empowered by the collective voice of people living with epilepsy to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our involvement with research paves the way for new interventions and treatments to improve and save lives.
Epilepsy Action Australia established the National Epilepsy Line in 2019 as the only national epilepsy telehealth support service delivered by Registered Nurses specialising in epilepsy. It is the front-line service and gateway to our broader range of services.
The organisation is primarily funded through donations, fundraising activities, philanthropic grants, and sale of third-party training courses.
