The Eating Disorders Access Project aims to improve access to evidence-based multidisciplinary treatment for people with eating disorders living in the Sunshine Coast region. To achieve this, the project will provide access to:
a) Medicare-equivalent financial rebates for a full evidence-based course of psychotherapy sessions plus improved access to a dietitian and an increased number of case coordination sessions to facilitate team care
b) Access to professional development training and tertiary support
c) Information, training and practice tools to support earlier identification and referral
This Project is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health as a collaborative partnership between the Butterfly Foundation, Central Queensland Wide Bay Sunshine Coast Primary Health Network (CQWBSC PHN), Sunshine Coast Mind and Neuroscience Thompson Institute and Flinders University. Behind this partnership we need an extensive network of organisations and individual health service providers with an interest in eating disorders.
If you believe that your patients/clients could benefit from this Project or you would like to extend your practice skills in eating disorders, please register your interest by completing this expression of interest form. Completion of this form does not commit you to participation in the project. You will be contacted by a Project staff member and will have an opportunity to learn more about the Project.
