Centre for Eating, Weight and Body Image

26/11/2025

It's that time of year when some of our wonderful admin team members at Centre for Eating, Weight and Body Image are moving on to complete further studies! (❤️💔)

Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to have some incredible psychology students join our admin team in between either undergrad and honours, or honours and masters. This role offers many opportunities - from learning the ins and outs of Medicare and intake processes, to developing practical skills around supporting clients, to helping coordinate Zoom-based training with eating disorder trainers from across Australia and the world! And of course, you’ll get to work closely with our wonderful and inspiring team of clinicians!

This is a minimum 30 hours per week role, and very much suited to someone studying psychology (or taking a study break) who wants hands-on experience in a supportive, evidence-based team environment.

The role is hybrid - part work-from-home and part on-site at our East Melbourne clinic.

Ten-session CBT (CBT-T) is being adopted in services internationally as a structured, time-efficient approach for treating non-underweight eating disorders.

In December, Professor Tracey Wade will present a two-day live online workshop exploring the CBT-T model, including treatment structure, nutritional and behavioural strategies, exposure-based work, body-image tasks and relapse planning. Clinicians will have the chance to see demonstrations and practise the model in small-group exercises.

🗓️ - 3 & 5 December 2025
⏰ - 9:00am - 4:00pm (AEDT - Melbourne Time)

Everyone says they’re evidence-based… but what does that really mean?

It’s not about ticking boxes or following scripts.
It’s about bringing together research, clinical expertise, and client values - so care is not only effective, but human.

When research, experience, and lived experience work together:
💡 Care gets clearer
💬 Clients feel heard
💪 Change becomes possible

There's a lot of talk about getting enough protein - especially if you're feeling full quickly. But protein doesn't work alone. Eating protein with carbohydrates not only helps your body absorb it better, but also adds fibre and energy.

You might not need fancy powders or protein-packed products. Balanced meals with regular foods can often meet your needs - when they’re tailored to you.

Not sure where to start? A dietitian can help you find a sustainable, evidence-based approach that works for your body.
