Have your say on how we turn the The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 into reality!

We are charged with implementing The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 which was developed over two years of consultation. It is our intention that the Strategy is a document that is used and is useful, that we respond to the gaps it identifies, bring to life the actions articulated through our consultations, and that it is a live document in so much as we use it as a springboard for the generation of new ideas, activities and strategic priorities as required.

We are genuinely invested in Collaborating, Codesigning, Coproducing and Communicating to achieve research innovations that change people’s lives.

The Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Eating Disorders Co-Production will develop a Strategy built on the social justice imperative, underpinned by the concepts of respect, empowerment and self-determination, in consultation and collaboration with community. It will integrate with the Lived Experience Program to ensure research and translation co-design and activities directed towards closing the gap. 

The community consultation process commenced at the Key Thinkers Forum 2022

All activities undertaken by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Co-Production Program will be guided by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Co-Production Governance Group. Members of this group bring diverse skills, knowledge, and expertise.
