The National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) is dedicated to building an accessible and equitable system of care for all Australians experiencing eating disorders, their families, supports and communities.

NEDC is a national collaborative platform for experts by lived experience, clinicians, leaders, researchers, and  services. We generate unified, evidence-based sector positions and consistent national standards, which includes the National Eating Disorders Strategy 2023-2033, and translate these into practical action for the prevention, identification, treatment, and support of eating disorders. NEDC provides leadership for the sector, supporting collaborative work and non-duplication.
