ANZAED

What ANZAED does

ANZAED (Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders Ltd), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Castlecrag, New South Wales, is the peak non-profit professional body for eating disorder clinicians, researchers, and advocates across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. Its core function is to set and maintain professional standards for eating disorder care through credentialing, professional development, annual conferences, advocacy, and member services targeting dietitians, mental health professionals (psychologists, social workers, OTs, mental health nurses, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counselors), and — as of March 2024 — General Practitioners. The organization operates an iMIS-based membership and event management backbone and the connect·ed credentialing platform (connected.anzaed.org.au), publicly launched on 18 June 2022, which provides formal recognition (post-nominals CEDC-GP, CEDC-D, CEDC-MH) of clinicians meeting NEDC-aligned standards and a public searchable directory connecting treatment seekers with credentialed clinicians by location, telehealth availability, and language.

Revenue is generated through multiple recurring and transactional streams: annual membership fees (with a 20% discount for credentialed clinicians), credentialing application and renewal fees ($100 application; $170 annual or $450 triennial), conference and workshop registrations (annual conference plus discrete professional development courses such as the 2026 'What do I say next?' dietitians workshop priced at $295 member / $360 non-member), Online Consultation group supervision programs (GP Consultation at $40-$55, Child and Adolescent Therapy at $308-$418), and external job/research listings. The business is supplemented by ongoing Australian Government Department of Health funding supporting the original credential development (2019-2020, consultation with 900+ participants) and the 2024 GP expansion. Strategic partnerships with the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC), InsideOut Institute for Eating Disorders, Dietitians Australia, Butterfly Foundation, Eating Disorders Families Australia, and the international CoRe-ED research consortium embed ANZAED at the center of the Australia–New Zealand eating disorder ecosystem, with influence extending via CoRe-ED into 20+ countries and 5 continents.
