This paper presents a number of future directions which aim to ensure that in Australia we are

who will experience an eating disorder. 

  • Increase access to evidence-based early interventions for eating disorders
  • Increase the capacity of the workforce to deliver evidence-based early interventions
  • Provide national coordination and leadership
  • Increase access to evidence-based prevention programs for young people at risk
  • Build awareness of all eating disorders and reduce stigma in the community
  • Address gaps in research and data
