About Us

Eating Disorders Queensland is a statewide, community-based not-for-profit organisation. We support both individuals who are living with an eating disorder; and their carers, loved ones, and key support people.

Support options include therapeutic and psychosocial support for individuals, and coaching and community connection for carers. EDQ also provides early intervention opportunities, with community education events focused on creating healthy relationships with food and our bodies. We are passionate about eradicating weight stigma and diet culture.

Lived experience drives our service delivery. We promote the voices of lived experience through consultation, employment opportunities, and Board representation of both Carer and Peer Lived Experience.

Our Vision: A world free from eating disorders.

Our Mission: To facilitate hope and recovery for all people affected by eating disorders.
