Eating Disorder Identification Learning Modules for Tertiary Education  

Learning to identify eating disorders and support someone to access care is a key skillset relevant across teaching in health, community, education, and social support disciplines. 

To embed eating disorder competencies within tertiary education, NEDC partnered with the EDTC Collaborative Network to co-develop the Eating Disorder Identification Learning Modules for Tertiary Education.

The modules aim to equip graduates with an identification skillset*, with specific application to eating disorders, disordered eating and body image concerns, aligned with the National Framework for Eating Disorders Training, NEDC Workforce Core Competencies and the Stepped System of Care for Eating Disorders 

The modules are free to access for educators who meet minimum training and safety standards.
