Submitted to Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) Reviews (October 2018).

Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) play an important role in the care of people with eating disorders.

Our submission advocates for increased access to APDs through the MBS, to meet the complex needs of people with eating disorders.

Households experience financial hardship with the treatment and management of an eating disorder in Australia. We support the proposal for an increase in rebatable dietitian sessions, however, we have a number of broader concerns with the recommendations of the proposal.
