Key Thinkers Forum: Eating Disorders, Wellbeing and a need for Research

This Forum discussed current and emerging food and eating disorder issues within community and the research and translation gaps and priorities that exist currently. It will help guide the development of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research & Translation Strategy as a key activity of the Australian Eating Disorder Research and Translation Centre.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Co-Production

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eating Disorders Co-Production will contribute Indigenous leadership and innovation to governance and all activities of the Centre and establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eating Disorder Research Strategy, in co-design with community.

Have your say on how we turn the The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 into reality!

We are charged with implementing The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 which was developed over two years of consultation. It is our intention that the Strategy is a document that is used and is useful, that we respond to the gaps it identifies, bring to life the actions articulated through our consultations, and that it is a live document in so much as we use it as a springboard for the generation of new ideas, activities and strategic priorities as required.

We're all about the 'co'

Research is an iterative and dynamic process best informed and co-produced at all stages between researchers, clinicians and people with lived experience, families and supports. We are genuinely invested in Collaborating, Codesigning, Coproducing and Communicating to achieve research innovations that change people’s lives.

IgnitED

The IgnitED Fund provided nine $25,000 grants to Australian residents with great ideas to work in a co-design process, bring their ideas to life, and build new relationships and research skills in eating disorders.

People with eating disorders come from diverse backgrounds & identities...so should our research teams and the research we conduct!

We're thrilled to be participating in Mardi Gras Fair Day 2023 in collaboration with colleagues from other national eating disorder organisations coming together for the first time under our campaign banner of 'everyBODY welcome'.
