A new, free e-clinic app has been launched in Australia to provide accessible support for individuals experiencing eating disorders. The app does not require a referral or diagnosis and offers immediate assessment, linking users directly to care. Developed over the past decade, the e-clinic aims to break down barriers such as cost and accessibility, which have historically prevented many from seeking help. The program has been trialled successfully, with participants reporting significant benefits. In addition to supporting individuals, the app offers upskilling programs for clinicians and carers, recognizing the important role carers play in the recovery process.

New app launched to address rise of eating disorders

Australia trailblazing once again, this time with an easy-to-access app acting as a front door to the healthcare system. This is world-leading and life-changing. The new, entirely free e-clinic is for anyone who has a turbulent relationship with food. You don't need a referral, you don't even need a diagnosis. Within seconds it's going to tell you if you are experiencing an eating disorder and it's going to link you directly to care. In 2023, 1.1 million Australians were living with an eating disorder. This is one in every 23 people. However, only 19-36% access treatment. Developed over the last decade, the new e-clinic breaks down barriers such as cost and accessibility. Its effectiveness has been proven through trials, where Zoe was one of the very first participants in March 2021. The fact that it's free to all Australians is huge because some of the reasons that I didn't seek help was because it was so expensive. Comedian and author Lucinda Price also took part. The program caught me and helped set me on a path towards full recovery. The benefits of which I feel and appreciate every single day. The e-clinic aims to break down the stigma around seeking help. Anyone at any time, anywhere, can log on and begin at their own pace without anyone knowing about it. It also includes an upskilling program for clinicians and carers. The supported program for carers will be a game changer. It acknowledges that carers are not just helpers on the sidelines, they are central to the recovery journey and they need care too. So the main message for anyone affected by an eating disorder... Just jump on and have a look, like there's literally nothing bad that can happen from doing it. Emma Olsen, 10 News.
