MHFA Australia develops, evaluates, and provides a variety of programs and courses, as well as developing Guidelines for specific mental health diagnoses.

The Eating Disorders Mental Health First Aid Guidelines have been designed to help members of the public to provide first aid to someone who is developing or living with an eating disorder. The role of the individual providing first aid is to assist the person until appropriate professional help is received.
