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.
