Hundreds of Sunshine Coast residents with eating disorders will gain access to improved healthcare under a $3.2 million project launched on Tuesday.
The two-year project, funded by the federal government, will aim to better equip local doctors to identify, diagnose and refer patients with eating disorder symptoms.
Patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa or other complex eating disorders will be offered up to 50 therapy sessions, more than five times the number of sessions currently offered.
