Who are we?
InsideOut is Australia’s National Institute for Eating Disorders Research and clinical excellence. We conduct and translate research into clinical and practice excellence, in collaboration with our national and global partners.
Our aim is to transform the prevention and treatment landscape for people with eating disorders in Australia, and ultimately find a cure. Our team of expert researchers, clinicians, policy makers and consumer advisors lead the development of several major national and state research, education and training initiatives in eating disorders.
InsideOut is a leader in effecting change through service and policy development both locally and nationally. We are at the forefront of new and emerging technologies for the delivery of quality clinical care for people with eating disorders and strong advocates for the enhancement of the health system to meet the needs of people presenting with eating disorders, their families and support networks.
Are you or someone you know at risk of developing an eating disorder?
Answer a few questions to help us better understand where you or your loved one is at, so we can provide you with appropriate guidance.
We can then direct you to tailored information and resources, guide you to completing a more comprehensive assessment and link you in with treatment services.
