• Conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Eating Disorder Credential for mental health professionals, GPs, dietitians, and consumers.
• Operation of a secure and stable connect·ed - ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential website.

The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are:

• Promote ongoing communications and awareness of the Eating Disorder Credential.
• Ensure people seeking an eating disorder diagnosis can confidently and easily identify appropriately qualified and resourced GPs and other health professionals.
