Free Eating Disorder Supports

Accessible, Inclusive & Fully Subsidised Care

Our Free Eating Disorder Supports (FEDS) program provides timely, inclusive and fully subsidised care for individuals experiencing disordered eating or eating disorders. Our aim is to remove financial barriers so that everyone can access the neuroaffirming, compassionate support they need to begin or continue their journey toward healing.

About the Program

The Flourish Free Eating Disorder Supports (FEDS) initiative provides fully subsidised care for people experiencing disordered eating or an eating disorder.

This program is designed to remove financial barriers so individuals and families can access the support they need without delay. Care is timely, inclusive and neuroaffirming, ensuring that every person feels respected, understood and supported in their recovery journey.

Our goal is to make eating disorder care more accessible and equitable, so that cost is never a barrier to getting help.

What’s Included

FEDS offers access to a transdisciplinary team with expertise in neurodivergence, eating disorders and trauma-informed care. Our collaborative model ensures that each person’s care is individualised, coordinated and affirming.

Support options may include:

  • A young woman smiling at a child during a manicure session at a table. There are colorful toys and a palette of nail polish colors on the table, with a mirror reflecting her hand. The background has posters of bear illustrations on the wall and a pink cushion on a bench.

    Psychological Therapy (individual, family-based, or group)

    Evidence-based and compassionate therapy to support recovery, strengthen coping strategies, and nurture relationships. Options include one-to-one sessions, family-focused work, or group programs that provide shared learning and connection.

  • A woman and a young girl baking together in a kitchen; the woman is leaning over the counter, smiling, while the girl is focused on an activity, both wearing pink aprons.

    Affirming Nutritional Support

    Dietetic care that goes beyond meal plans - focusing on building trust with food, repairing the relationship between mind and body, and supporting nourishment in a way that respects individual needs, preferences, and neurodivergence.

  • Children and a woman covered in orange activity material, raising their hands and celebrating together.

    Creative and Sensory-Informed Therapeutic Interventions

    Approaches such as art, play, movement and sensory-based therapies to promote regulation, expression, and self-discovery. These methods provide alternative ways to explore and process experiences beyond words.

  • Two women sitting on a couch and a daybed having a conversation in a living room with a large plant and a flower painting on the wall.

    Care Coordination and Advocacy

    Guidance and support in navigating health and support systems, linking with other professionals, and ensuring your voice is heard. We work alongside you and your network to reduce stress and keep care coordinated.

  • A woman and a child playing board games at a round wooden table in a living room. The woman is smiling and reaching for toys on the table, which include a colorful board game, a bowl of toys, and a Rubik's Cube. The woman has brown hair tied back, and the child wears a gray cap and striped shirt. The background shows a pink armchair with a decorative pillow, a wooden desk, and a window with various items on the windowsill.

    Intensive or Single-Session Support Options

    Flexible pathways designed to meet you where you are. This may include one-off sessions for clarity and strategies, or more intensive short-term support when extra care is needed.

  • A young girl extending her hand with some grains towards a small brown goat behind a metal fence.

    Therapy in Sensory-Considerate Settings, Including Outdoor and Animal-Assisted Spaces

    Therapeutic sessions offered in environments that feel safe and grounding - whether that’s a sensory-friendly clinic space, outdoors in nature, or alongside therapy animals to support regulation and comfort.
