As part of the AEDRTC's work funded by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, the Centre is developing a National Eating Disorders Translation Blueprint.

This important document will build on, and align to, existing key documents including: the National Eating Disorders Strategy (2023-2033), Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy (2021-2031) as well as other key commonwealth strategic documents. The Blueprint is intended to support decision-making around eating disorder service development and system transformation to ensure a high-quality service system for people with eating disorders and their families. Being developed in consultation with key national stakeholders across Eating Disorder service delivery, and government health jurisdictions, the document will clearly lay out nationally agreed components of what constitutes an ideal evidence-based system for the treatment of people with eating disorders and the costs and benefits of best practice implementation. This information will help service providers and policy makers in planning and service development.

Components of the Blueprint will provide:

• a description of the full research-translation pipeline

• Cost-benefit analysis of six evidence-based priority ED interventions (see below), developed in national consultation - to demonstrate the cost of implementing priority evidence-based interventions, and the opportunity cost of not implementing them.

• illustrative case-studies on the interventions, and pathways to their implementation, including adaptations that could be made by different jurisdictions and settings (such as state to state, urban to regional) to match local need
