Feeding Australia: A National Food Security Strategy

1 January 2025

This submission highlights the strong links between food insecurity and eating disorder risk. NEDC calls for the National Food Security Strategy to embed Eating Disorder Safe principles, apply a harm-minimisation lens, and ensure culturally informed, equitable approaches to food access and utilisation. The submission emphasises the need for engagement with First Nations communities, trauma-aware workforce development, and removal of weight-focused language to support safe and inclusive food systems.
