Eating Disorders Victoria

The Eating Disorders Foundation of Victoria is the primary source of support, information, community education and advocacy for people with eating disorders and their families in Victoria. They connect those whose lives are affected by eating disorders with the people, services and hope they need for recovery.

EDV aims for a future where the incidence, duration and impacts of all eating disorders are reduced and ultimately eradicated.
