EDFA WAS FOUNDED BY A GROUP OF AUSTRALIAN PARENTS CARING FOR A CHILD WITH
AN EATING DISORDER. OUR FOCUS HAS NOW GROWN TO INCLUDE ALL CARERS AND FAMILIES
OF THOSE WITH EATING DISORDERS.

EDFA IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING LIVED-EXPERIENCE SUPPORT, INFORMATION,
VALIDATION, EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY TO EMPOWER FAMILIES AND CARERS IN THEIR
JOURNEYS WITH THEIR OWN LOVED ONES.

WE ARE PROUD TO BE THE NATIONAL VOICE OF THOSE CARING FOR SOMEONE WITH AN EATING
DISORDER. WE UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THAT EVERYONE’S JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT, AND WE
TAKE AN UNBIASED APPROACH TO TREATMENT, CLINICIANS, AND PATHWAYS OF CARE.

THROUGH OUR NATIONWIDE, ONLINE SUPPORT GROUPS, EDUCATION WEBINARS, PEER TO PEER
SUPPORT, AND EVENTS, EDFA EMPOWERS FAMILIES AND CARERS TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR
LOVED ONES’ NEEDS AND PERSONAL ROLE IN THE RECOVERY JOURNEY.
