eating disorder symptoms, their carers’, and clinicians at
Parliament House on Thursday, July 24, 2025 between

The Hon. Emma McBride MP; author, comedian and broadcaster,
Lucinda Price; leading eating disorder experts; advocacy group
representatives; and patients for this important announcement
in The Main Committee Room, Ground Floor, Parliament House, Canberra.

​

Developed by Australia’s leading authority on eating disorder research –the InsideOut Institute – in partnership with Sydney Local Health District, with government funding, the eClinic is the first freely accessible (24/7), fully online service offering evidence-based, treatment programs, tools and support to those living with, or affected by disordered eating.1

 

• In 2023, 1.1 million Australians were living with an eating disorder, equating to one in 23 people, or almost 5 per cent of the adult population.2

• The number of people living with an eating disorder who access treatment in a year is considerably less (19 – 36 per cent) than people with other types of mental health disorders, such as depression.  3-5

• Estimates suggest treatment for an eating disorder is sought an average of 5 to 15 years post-onset.6

• People living with bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder often wait much longer to receive treatment than those with anorexia nervosa.7
