Abstract
NEDC has been working in collaboration with Southern Cross University and the Public Health Association of Australia to develop a First Nations-specific Companion Document to the Eating Disorder Safe principles. ‘First Nations Perspectives: Strengthening the Eating Disorder Safe Principles’ is a step towards developing culturally safe and relevant approaches to eating disorder prevention and response among First Nations communities. It sets out a definition of cultural safety in the context of eating disorders, discusses key historical and contemporary issues that uniquely affect First Nations people and communities, outlines key Indigenist approaches to health and wellbeing, and sets out practice tips and case studies.
The concepts within the Companion Document have been woven throughout all other Eating Disorder Safe documents and resources. All approaches to implementing the Eating Disorder Safe principles should account for the specific needs and perspectives of First Nations peoples, recognising that they are active and important members of the wider society.
