Eating Disorders/Body Image Concerns

Late last year, our practice welcomed the news that Australians with severe eating disorders will soon have access to a comprehensive treatment plan under Medicare for the first time. Eating disorders are a serious mental illness and they affect over 1 million Australians.

From November 2019, patients with these serious psychiatric conditions will be able to access up to 40 subsidized psychological services. This is in line with evidence that shows at least 40 CBT sessions are needed to restore healthy eating attitudes and behaviors.

At Moving Forward Clinical Psychologists, we all have undertaken additional training in the assessment and treatment of eating disorders and have many years experience in working with patients that experience these difficulties.
