October is Mental Health Month, and the month draws to a close we’re reflecting on this year’s theme which is ‘Tune In’. Mental Health Month is a reminder to check in with your own mental health, and is also an opportunity to better understand others’ experiences and challenge mental health stigma. Let’s explore how we can ‘Tune In’ to Eating Disorders this Mental Health Month.
Establishing an Eating Disorder Treatment Team
Medicare Funding for Eating Disorder Therapy
People living with complex and severe Eating Disorders can now receive rebates for a greater number of sessions of psychological and dietetic therapy, following welcome changes to the Medicare system in Australia. These changes are a result of many years of advocacy by peak bodies in the Eating Disorder treatment field in Australia, and they provide the opportunity those eligible to access more intensive and longer term therapies.
