How your postcode can impact eating disorder treatment

There's a 'paradox' for accessing treatment for eating disorders, young people have told us: you'll often only get treatment when you're seriously ill.



So, what happens to the people who are sick enough for a diagnosis, but aren't considered unwell enough for a hospital bed? We explore the gaps in eating disorder care.

Plus, GPs are the frontline of healthcare, but do they have enough training to identify and treat the complexities of an eating disorder?

Dr. Cathy Andronis, Royal Australian College of General Practitioners

Christine Morgan, National Mental Health Commissioner
