The South Australian Government has announced it will provide funding of $150,000 per year for two years to maintain, promote, and grow EDFA's Support and Education Programs in that state - the first that EDFA has received from a state government.

I have argued for some time that social media should be treated like alcohol - banned until 18 - but this is a start! Please support this petition to protect our kids.

Thank you to @JadeGailberger for highlighting the surge in eating disorders in Vic following lockdowns. For every single diagnosis, there is a multitude of family members also affected. The problem is larger than it first appears. https://t.co/nxaBWoKHNX
