Who Are We?

The National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) is dedicated to building an accessible and equitable system of care for all Australians experiencing eating disorders, their families, supports and communities.

NEDC is a national collaborative platform for experts by lived experience, clinicians, leaders, researchers, and  services. We generate unified, evidence-based sector positions and consistent national standards that are translated into practical action for the prevention, identification, treatment, and support of eating disorders.

Stepped System of Care

People experiencing an eating disorder require may require access to a range of different services, at different levels of intensity or frequency, across the course of illness (or risk of illness) and recovery. Coordinated, evidence-based services that are matched to a person's needs, and which increase or decrease in intensity according to a person’s changing psychological, physical, nutritional and psychosocial needs are known as the ‘stepped system of care’ for eating disorders.

National Strategy

The National Strategy is a 10-year roadmap to building the eating disorder system of care. It articulates key components, standards and actions that are required to achieve an effective, equitable and coordinated system of care that meets the needs of people experiencing or at risk of eating disorders and their families/supports and communities.

NEDC has developed comprehensive foundational online eating disorder training for GPs, mental health professionals, and fertility care professionals. The Core Skills series is evidence-based, nationally recognised and freely accessible to all members of NEDC (NEDC membership is free).

"Holding Hope—Exploring Compassionate & Holistic Care Pathways for Longstanding Eating Disorders" explores the multifaceted challenges of palliative care for people experiencing longstanding eating disorders.

We have fact sheets on most topics relating to eating disorders. They provide quick and easy information for clinicians, researchers, people with lived experience, and the general community.
