Melbourne, Australia. 23-24 August 2013
The Barwon Health Eating Disorder Service is a specia-
list regional service providing assessment, treatment and
consultation for individuals with eating disorders of all
ages living in the Barwon region. The service delivers
evidence-based treatments including Family-Based treat-
ment, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy-Enhanced and Cog-
nitive Analytic Therapy in conjunction with dietetic
support. The service prides itself on engagement and
partnerships with the service providers in the region
both in the public and private sector to provide the
community with a range of integrated options for treat-
ment and support.
In recent times the service has collaborated with The
Barwon Health Deakin Psychology Clinic and the Com-
munity Adult Mental Health teams to provide an assess-
ment clinic and evidence-based outpatient treatment to
individuals 26 years and over and their families with eat-
ing disorders. This presentation will showcase the work
being done in the service and the ongoing development
of the adult treatment model in conjunction with service
partners, including the important partnership with the
Victorian Centre of Excellence in Eating Disorders.
This abstract was presented in the Adult Treatment
and Services stream of the 2013 ANZAED Conference.
