Can you help us?
Eating Disorders Families Australia (EDFA) is a volunteer, not-for-profit organisation. Our mission is to support, educate and empower families and carers impacted by an eating disorder.
As a national organisation, we provide services to families and carers across the country. Our efforts to support carers reflect a comprehensive approach to eating disorder services – from prevention and early intervention to diagnosis, treatment, recovery and maintenance.
Our services include Carer Support Groups, EDucation Webinars, Counselling, Carer Support Forum and advocacy.

Why Volunteer?
