Australians with severe eating disorders can soon access a medicare subsidy for psychological and nutritional care for the first time.
Health Minister, Greg Hunt, says the 110.7 million dollar project will help up to 30,000 people annually and assures the public the program will remain regardless of which party is in government.
If you believe you have issues with eating disorders or know someone who does, the Butterfly Foundation has a national helpline devoted to helping people with body image issues or eating disorders. Do not hesitate to call 1800 334 673 if you need help.
