Compassionate, evidence-based care for eating concerns and eating disorders.

We provide supportive, non-judgemental care for people experiencing concerns about eating, body image, weight, or behaviours around food. Eating disorders are complex medical and psychological conditions that can affect anyone. Early support and treatment can make a significant difference to recovery. Our practice offers assessment, early intervention, and ongoing coordinated care through a GP-led and multidisciplinary approach.

How we support you

Care is tailored to your individual needs and may include:

• Initial GP consultation and assessment of eating patterns and health concerns
• Screening for medical complications (such as blood tests, ECG, or physical checks where appropriate)
• Mental health and wellbeing assessment
• Development of a care plan and treatment pathway
• Coordination of allied health supports such as dietitians and psychologists
• Family or carer involvement where appropriate
• Ongoing monitoring and follow-up care

Where needed, we work closely with specialist services and support programs to ensure you receive the right level of care.

Getting started – what to expect

Your first appointment is focused on understanding your health and ensuring your safety and wellbeing. This may include:

• A supportive discussion with your GP
• Basic health screening and medical checks
• Review of symptoms and concerns
• Discussion of next steps and treatment options

If appropriate, your GP may arrange a structured care plan to support access to allied health professionals under Medicare.

Your care team

Evidence shows that eEating disorder care is most effective when supported by a team approach. Your care may involve:

• Your GP (care coordination and medical oversight)
• A psychologist (therapy and behavioural support)
• A dietitian (nutrition rehabilitation and education)
• Other specialists if required

We will help coordinate this care so you are not managing it alone.

What type of appointment should I book ?

A long appointment (usually 30 minutes) is recommended for your first consultation. This allows enough time for your GP to complete a thorough and supportive assessment, including discussion of your concerns, medical history, and overall wellbeing. It also ensures there is time to talk through next steps clearly and safely, without feeling rushed.

Where appropriate, follow-up appointments may be needed as part of your ongoing care plan. Our aim is to ensure you feel heard, supported, and guided through the next steps in your care.

If you are unsure which appointment is right for you, our reception team can help you choose the correct one when you book./
