Epilepsy TV campaign

March 1, 2012

A NEW community service announcement to be broadcast on commercial TV channels from this week will see Australian water polo star Luke Quinlivan compete against epilepsy discrimination. It’s part of Epilepsy Australia’s national awareness month for the condition, which affects 228,000 Australians - 1% of the population. Quinlivan was diagnosed with epilepsy 12 years ago but effective management strategies have seen him become an elite athlete and one of the highest rated goalkeepers in world water polo. Epilepsy Australia executive officer Denise Chapman said the campaign is seeking to draw attention to the realities of the condition, not the myths. The campaign is supported by GSK, UCB Pharma, Janssen and Sanofi.
