headspace is Australia's National Youth Mental Health Foundation. There are over 165 youth-friendly multidisciplinary services located in every state and territory across Australia. Considerable Government funds are allocated to headspace centres with the aim of targeting mild-to-moderate mental health disorders for young people aged 12 to 25 years. Young people present for help for a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, peer difficulties, and substance use issues. Recent research has demonstrated that a high percentage of young people accessing care at headspace centres are experiencing significant body image concerns and are engaging in disordered eating behaviours. These include dietary restriction, binge eating and purging behaviours such as self-induced vomiting. The headspace centre model includes both general practitioners and mental health clinicians as part of the clinical team. This multi-disciplinary model enables centres the basic staffing needed to provide effective interventions for mild-to-moderate eating disorder presentations. While offering early intervention for eating disorders is within the scope of headspace centres, full integration of eating disorders care into the core business of headspace centres is still ongoing. Many headspace clinicians are not confident in assessing for or treating eating disorders leading to non-specific treatments for eating behaviours that are not evidence based or referrals to external specialized services which are associated with high costs and long waiting times, preventing access to timely and affordable early intervention. headspace centres are well placed with existing resources to provide effective and accessible early intervention for eating disorders to young Australians at risk.
