The truth is, body image is not just about appearance — it’s about how we feel in our bodies, and how those feelings shape the way we live our lives.

Negative body image can affect far more than how someone feels about their appearance. It can impact self-esteem, confidence, relationships, social life, and even career opportunities. Over time, it increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

Eating disorders are serious – not lifestyle choices, diets gone too far, or “phases.” They can affect anyone: men, women, and people of all ages, backgrounds, and body shapes.

💡 Did you know?

More than 1 million Australians are currently living with an eating disorder.

Eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates of any mental illness.

Recovery is absolutely possible, especially with the right support.

❌ Myths to challenge (from Butterfly Foundation & NEDC):

“Eating disorders only affect young women.” ➝ Eating disorders affect people of all genders and ages.

“You can tell if someone has an eating disorder by their weight.” ➝ Eating disorders cannot be detected based on weight alone.

“It’s just a phase or for attention.” ➝ Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that require care and support.

“Families are to blame.” ➝ Families are not the cause, but they are often a crucial support for recovery.

✅ What helps: Compassion, understanding, early intervention, and professional support.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling with eating or body image concerns, support is available.

Members of the community are invited to pay their respects and honour Keith as he makes his final journey. Your presence will be a valued tribute to Keith's life and service.

This Friday, Tasmania Police will farewell Constable Keith Smith with full ceremonial honours in recognition of his dedicated service and the lasting impact he made both on and off duty.

While the funeral service itself is not open to the public, community members are warmly invited to pay their respects afterwards.

Join us in lining the streets and paying tribute to Keith as he makes his final journey.

▶ Devonport (from 2.30 pm): Members of the public are encouraged to line Victoria Parade (from Nicholls Street) as the procession travels along Bluff Road, up to William Street.

▶ Ulverstone (from 3.30pm): The procession will travel past Ulverstone Police Station along Victoria Street, turn into Reibey Street, and continue to Kings Parade.

The outpouring of kindness and support from across Tasmania and beyond over recent days has been deeply moving.

Keith was a proud member of Tasmania Police who was deeply respected by his colleagues and his community. His service and spirit will not be forgotten.
