People suffering from Anorexia and other eating disorders will now receive substantial support to help recover and rehabilitate, following a large investment from the Australian Government.
As of this month, sufferers will be entitled to up to 40 psychological sessions, and 20 dietetics sessions per year under their Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS).
One in 20 Australians are currently living with an eating disorder, and the mortality rate for sufferers is 12 times higher than the general population.
