The Butterfly Foundation represents all people affected by eating disorders – a person with an eating disorder, their family and their friends. As a leading national voice in supporting their needs, Butterfly highlights the realities of seeking treatment for recovery, and advocates for improved services from both government and independent sources.

Butterfly operates a National Helpline, which is staffed by counsellors experienced in assisting with eating disorders.  It also provides a wide range of facilities for service providers and recovery groups.

Because Butterfly recognises that eating disorders often arise from poor body image, it delivers a range of Positive Body Image workshops to schools and workplaces through its education program.   It has a strong media presence to raise awareness of Butterfly’s perspective in community debates about body image and eating disorders.
