Introduction

This survey aims to gather information which will assist with improving the quality and effectiveness of eating disorder services provided within the Western NSW Local Health District. We would like responses from people with eating disorders and carers of people with eating disorders, whether or not they have accessed local (or other) treatment or support services.
Your responses will be anonymous. While no questions are compulsory, the more information we receive, the better able we will be to further develop local services.
If you would like further information about this survey or eating disorder services within the WNSW LHD, please contact Meg Vickery, on (02) 63697951.
