ANZAED’s group online consultation / supervision program provides accessible and affordable clinical consultation by qualified and experienced eating disorder professionals.

It is provided in a group format in specific psychological and dietetic treatment modalities and aimed primarily at clinicians working with eating disorder patients who have completed some post-graduate training in the modality.

RATIONALE

  1. Through its network of professionals and trainers in Australia & New Zealand ANZAED will arrange the highest levels of clinical training via a user-friendly format of professional support, aimed particularly at clinicians in private practice. ANZAED will provide an adjudication panel to vet and review all consultants and provide a complaints procedure. Please email anzaed@anzaed.org.au for further information.
  2. Promoting quality of care – The quality, consistency and fidelity of treatment is important due to the challenging nature of eating disorder treatment as well as the associated physical and psychological morbidity risks. Clinical consultation will be provided by a senior clinician with experience in clinical supervision, vetted by the peak eating disorder professional body to complement didactic training.
  3. Affordability and accessibility – A group consultation model makes peer consultation affordable for clinicians so that it is more likely to be accessed. This in turn meets the aim of improving the overall quality of treatment in the field.
