InsideOut’s evidence-based digital therapies are for people 16+ years who experience symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder or Bulimia Nervosa. They provide self-help, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy interventions to help people understand and manage their symptoms. Our digital Toolbox helps users self-monitor their eating disorder behaviours, set goals, and log and challenge thoughts and eating behaviours.  

National rollout of our digital therapies is funded by the Australian Government under the National Leadership Mental Health program and are freely available to people who meet criteria - increasing access to evidence-based treatment especially for those with mild to moderate symptoms.

InsideOut’s GP Hub and Tools provide support to GPs to identify people at risk of or experiencing an eating disorder, and to provide evidence-based care. The Hub provides information and digital tools for use at point of care, a Practice Management Toolkit guiding users to embed resources into practice software, and customised QI projects to implement across the practice.  The Hub includes a Clinical Decision Support Tool – this timesaving tool uses a diagnostic algorithm to facilitate speedy identification, support diagnosis and provides GPs with evidence-based information and care planning advice to help them link clients to treatment providers. National rollout of the Hub is funded by the Australian Government under the National Leadership Mental Health program.

InsideOut’s upskilling initiative aims to support the health workforce to deliver evidence-based interventions to people with eating disorders – without having to undertake lengthy training programs.    

As part of this initiative InsideOut provides:   

• Free access to key InsideOut online learning programs and drop-in Q&A sessions with our clinical experts for headspace, Head to Health and Intake Assessment and Referral (IAR) clinical staff.    
• Free access to our proven digital therapies to headspace and Head to Health clients starting with Brief BEeT (a 4 session CBT program for people with binge purge disorders) supported, via referral, by an InsideOut Clinician.  

The Upskilling initiative is funded by the Australian Government under the National Leadership in Mental Health program.

The Centre is led by InsideOut Institute and includes lived experience and First Nations expertise, a national consortium of partners and members. We are united in our determination to prevent eating disorders and improve the health and wellbeing of people with eating disorders in Australia - through research and the translation of evidence into practice. 

The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the National Leadership in Mental Health program.

We are working with the Australian government’s Intake Assessment and Referral Section to develop Train the Trainer eLearning for the Intake Assessment and Referral Decision Support Tool, and to undertake a validation study of the tool’s use in practice across primary care.

InsideOut is working in collaboration with headspace national to strengthen eating disorder care as a core component of headspace centres nationally.
