    What is an eating disorder?

    For many people, eating disorders are not about food or their body image, but instead develop as a way of coping with other influences in their life.

    GP & Health Professionals

    As a GP, you are likely to be the first health professional a person with an eating disorder or carer will come in contact with. A GP’s role in the treatment of eating disorders can include prevention, identification, medical management in a primary care setting and referral (NEDC, 2015).

    EDQ is a self-referral clinic. GPs are welcome to send referral paperwork or GP reports to EDQ (via email), and we will keep it on file until such time as the client reaches out. We do not have the capacity to contact each client that is referred to us.

INITIAL ASSESSMENT


CARER INITIAL CONTACT FORM

Estimated completion time is 10-15 minutes.

Hello, this will be your first step in engaging with Eating Disorders QLD (EDQ). We acknowledge that it can be difficult to discuss your experiences of caring for a loved one with an eating disorder and body image issues. 

To make it a bit easier, we have developed this form you can complete and send back to us. 

Once this form is completed, one of our Carer & Key Support Coaches will contact you to discuss the next steps in the process of engaging with EDQ. 

Looking forward to meeting you.
