About the Epilepsy Association of
South Australia and the Northern Territory Inc (EASANT)

The Epilepsy Association of South Australia and the Northern Territory Inc (EASANT) was formed by a group of concerned parents in 1976 to provide support and information to all people affected by epilepsy. From this group we have developed into an incorporated body with a Board of Management and numerous support groups in the metropolitan and country regions throughout South Australia and the Northern Territory.

The Epilepsy Centre, 25 Kilkenny Road, Woodville Park SA 5011, is the base of operations for administration and services of the Epilepsy Association of South Australia and the Northern Territory Inc (EASANT). It is also the Centre for administration of the Epilepsy Foundation of South Australia.

The Epilepsy Centre is open from 9 am – 5 pm Monday to Friday
