Consultation Services
Request for Consultation Form
CEED senior clinicians provide consultation to specialist public mental health services (Child + Adolescent and Adult Mental Health Services) and clinicians working with clients who have an eating disorder or an emerging eating disorder.
The consultation service aims to enhance the capacity of Victoria's Mental Health Service to respond to the early intervention, treatment and rehabilitation needs of those with an eating disorder.
- Primary Consultation includes a collaborative assessment of the client with a CEED clinician
- Secondary Consultation includes case consultation discussion with a CEED clinician
- Tertiary Consultation includes consultation focused on service planning, structure and/or programs
The consultation service is available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Consultations can be provided via telephone, face to face, on site visits or via video-conference where possible.
