Epicentred brings expert-led, in-person training directly to primary and secondary schools across regional Victoria and Melbourne. Delivered by Justine Knott—a registered psychologist, former educator (Master of Education), and professional with personal lived experience of epilepsy—our workshops cut through the medical jargon to deliver highly practical, classroom-tested strategy sessions for your staff.

All Epicentred educator workshops are designed to explicitly reference the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST), helping your staff fulfil their annual VIT professional learning requirements.

We offer three flexible delivery formats designed to fit seamlessly into busy school timetables, pupil-free days, or staff meetings.

Ideal for a fast-paced, high-impact update during regular weekly staff meetings or professional learning community (PLC) blocks.

An introductory breakdown of seizure types, immediate first-aid protocols, and a 60-second CRT (Casual Relief Teacher) handover framework.

Best for: The entire school teaching staff, administration team, and yard duty supervisors.

Inclusions: Printable classroom posters and CRT briefing sheets.

Investment: From $1,250 AUD.


Package 2: The Half-Day Intensive (Curriculum/Pupil-Free Days)

A comprehensive session designed to unpack the invisible cognitive hurdles and emotional complexities of childhood epilepsy.

Package 3: Custom Care Consultation (Student-Specific Support)

A targeted, collaborative case session focused entirely on building a comprehensive wraparound plan for a specific student currently enrolled at your school.

What it covers:

Justine meets directly with the student's core team (classroom teacher, integration aide, wellbeing lead, and parents) to review their specific presentation, audit classroom layouts for safety/triggers, and design a customised Individual Learning Plan (ILP) that addresses both academic pacing and social-emotional inclusion.

Best for:
The immediate care team of an individual student.
