Last week, the Minister for Mental Health in Victoria launched Victoria’s inaugural Eating Disorders Strategy. The Coalition Government’s investment of more than $10 million into the strategy aims to improve treatment and support for Victorian people with an eating disorder, their families and carers. Butterfly praises the Victorian Government for its whole-of-government approach, and the level of detail and commitment it has provided in the Eating Disorders Strategy, noting that it has taken into account and included the voice of the lived experience in its response and implementation. We were also delighted to have the Minister recognise our Founder and Executive Director Ms Claire Vickery for her leadership, advocacy and contribution to the Government’s Strategy. This is a significant milestone for Victoria. We believe that this Strategy will give people across the state hope that their call for help has been heard. We look forward to the roll-out and implementation of the Victorian Eating Disorders Strategy accompanied by the necessary education and workforce development to ensure long-term benefits are realised.
