The stepped system of care for eating disorders

This resource outlines the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) stepped system of care model for eating disorders.

The model describes the range of services that should be available to support people at risk of or experiencing an eating disorder, across varying levels of intensity and stages of recovery. It recognises that recovery is not linear and that individuals may move between different levels of care over time.

The resource aims to help individuals, families, and communities better navigate available supports, while also guiding policymakers and service planners to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care.
