Blagica holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons) from the University of Wollongong, and is proud to have been part of the rapid growth of the organisation in recent years in its continued passion for excelling in research and improving the lives of people with eating disorders.
A bespoke statewide workforce platform was developed to support clinicians, eating disorder coordinators and trainers with prerequisite learning, eLearning modules, and feedback collection. It allows coordinators to prioritise clinicians in their Local Health Districts and ensures access to current, evidence‑based training. Clinicians across NSW can now enrol in training that matches their needs and access training resources.

Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is the recommended first-line therapy for young people with eating disorders, and efforts in NSW focus on expanding access to this care through workforce training. InsideOut Institute in collaboration with Prof Daniel Le Grange pioneered the development of a “train the trainer” model, enabling experienced clinicians to become FBT trainers and deliver education locally. Experienced clinicians were provided with extensive training by Daniel Le Grange to become trainers in FBT. This approach increases training accessibility, strengthens the workforce, and ultimately allows more young people and their families to receive evidence-based treatment close to home

The NSW Service Plan emphasises having the Right People with the Right Skills in the Right Place. This highlights the need for a skilled, multidisciplinary workforce to support people with eating disorders across all levels of care. To achieve this, InsideOut efforts focus on building workforce Capacity and Capability across all NSW Health Services, providing NSW Health staff with training opportunities. This helps to ensure that individuals and their families receive high-quality, evidence-informed care close to home.
