National Educator Database
The NEDC National Educator Database is a platform that showcases professionals who deliver eating disorders education across universities, TAFEs and vocational training settings. Joining the database allows educators to highlight their areas of teaching expertise and contribute to a growing network of practitioners supporting eating‑disorder‑safe, evidence‑based education.
Educators may choose to list their contact details, enabling institutions to reach out directly for casual or contract teaching opportunities.
All listed educators indicate that they meet educator to support safe, effective teaching. NEDC does not independently verify educator qualifications or experience. Inclusion in the database is based on self-assessment and accurate self-reporting by educators.
Search the database
Locate an educator delivering eating disorder educational content or find someone to deliver content within your institution, based on discipline.
