Description: Current expert consensus on the treatment for eating disorders recommends an individualised multidisciplinary ‘triad’ approach from the disciplines of medicine, psychology and dietetics.1 The proportion of eating disorder clients in rural and remote areas is unknown, and rural based treatment services are limited.2,3 On average, 50% of patients treated for an eating disorder achieve a good outcome.4 A good outcome for anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) and eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) has been defined as achieving a weight between 10 and 15% of ideal body weight (IBW).5
