Future wish list
🙏 Translation of research to clinical practice. Let’s make this link stronger and clearer from the hard working researchers for the clinicians to take this into their practice.
🙏 Let’s embed inclusivity through an intersectional lens.
🙏 Less stigmatising language and stereotypes. Any BODY can experience any form of eating disorder.
🙏 Less stimulating quiet break areas.
🙏 Size inclusive seating and spaces.

🌙 Do you find yourself eating late at night—even when you're not hungry? �You're not alone, and you're not lacking willpower. �Nighttime binge eating is often your body asking for more: more nourishment, more care, more space to feel.
In our latest blog post, we’re breaking down why nighttime eating happens and how to gently shift your habits—without guilt, shame, or restriction.
💬 You’ll learn:
* Why eating enough during the day really matters
* How food rules backfire (and what to do instead)
* How to check in with your emotions instead of fighting them
* Why self compassion is your strongest tool
🫶 You deserve peace with food—yes, even at night. �Head to the link in our bio to read more!

NEWS: Today The Alfred launched Victoria's first public residential eating disorder treatment centre, complementing the Victorian Eating Disorder Strategy.

Ngamai Wilam is particularly special as it was co-designed by people who have recovered from eating disorders, and will offer a unique home-like environment for longer term stays.

EDV is proud to have coordinated this lived experience involvement, and to have participated ourselves.

When the service opens its doors, we will continue as partners for the 'active waitlist' - a model created by the co-design committee to address delays in accessing care. 💞 In cases where people are waiting to access Ngamai Wilam, an EDV peer worker will help them connect to other care in the meantime, and explore what they would like from treatment.

EDIT: ALL referrals for Ngamai Wilam must be made through The Alfred: https://www.alfredhealth.org.au/services/ngamai-wilam
