Eating Disorder Nutrition

Compassionate, evidence-based nutrition support for people experiencing eating disorders or disordered eating, tailored to each person’s unique journey.

Why Nutrition Support Matters in Eating Disorders

Nutrition is an essential part of recovery, helping restore physical health, improve energy, and rebuild a positive relationship with food.
Around 1 in 20 Australians experience an eating disorder, and early, specialised dietitian support makes a real difference in recovery.

Medical Stability

Up to 70% of people with eating disorders experience nutrient deficiencies such as iron, vitamin D, or calcium — these can affect energy, mood, and bone health. Dietitian support helps restore balance, reduce risks, and promote recovery.

Weight Restoration & Nourishment

Adequate nutrition supports both physical and psychological recovery, helping improve mood, energy, and cognitive function.

Breaking Restrictive Cycles

Practical support with meal structure and food variety helps reduce fear, guilt, and anxiety around eating, laying the groundwork for a healthier relationship with food.

Long-Term Recovery

Relapse can be common without ongoing care. Regular nutrition support helps maintain progress, lower relapse risk, and promote independence.

Who We Help

Our eating disorder dietitians work with people across all ages and stages of recovery. We provide care that is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s needs. We support:

Adolescents and young people – working closely with families and treatment teams to support growth, development, and recovery.
Adults – providing practical strategies and ongoing support for recovery and relapse prevention.
Families and carers – offering education, meal support strategies, and guidance to help loved ones feel supported at home.
People newly diagnosed or awaiting treatment – helping with early nutrition support and reducing risks while care is coordinated.
Clients transitioning from hospital or day programs – providing continuity of care and helping rebuild confidence in everyday eating.
Individuals seeking long-term recovery – supporting ongoing wellbeing, reducing relapse risk, and promoting independence.

How We Work With You

Our eating disorder dietitians provide care that is trauma-informed, compassionate, and individualised.

Comprehensive Assessment

We take the time to understand your full health picture, including medical history, eating patterns, symptoms, and challenges. This helps us identify risks such as nutrient deficiencies and create a safe starting point for your recovery journey.

Professional Guidance

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we provide practical, flexible strategies that meet you where you’re at. This may include building meal structure, support nourishment, and gently expanding food variety to reduce anxiety and promote confidence around eating.

Ongoing Support

Recovery takes time, and regular reviews provide a space for accountability, encouragement, and reassurance. We adjust recommendations as your needs change, celebrate progress, and help reduce the risk of relapse through long-term support.
