The Mental Health Minister has announced a funding boost for eating disorder services of $4 million a year - a 20 percent lift on current funding levels.
Matt Doocey says the funds will go to a combination of public and specialist clinical support, and to not for profit providers, many of whom don't currently get any government funding.
The investment will also go toward putting so-called peer support workers in all regional eating disorder services, and services that target early intervention for eating disorders.
The peer support workers will be people who have had an eating disorder, and can offer that insight and support to those seeking help.
