It’s Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness Week (7 - 13 September), a national week to raise awareness of body image concerns and eating disorders.
More than 1.1 million Australians are impacted each year.
Eating disorders are serious and a complex mental health condition with no single cause.
It can develop due to a combination of biological, psychological and sociocultural factors.
Family and friends play an important role in support and recovery, and recovery is possible with the right treatment.
🏥 This year, takara narakupa opened in Launceston, Tasmania’s first dedicated community-based eating disorder treatment facility and a major milestone in improving access to specialist care.
The Tasmanian Eating Disorder Service (TEDS) team now provides community-based intensive treatment programs throughout Tasmania (Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie) bringing specialist care closer to communities.
A day program and Residential Recovery Program are also being developed at St Johns Park, Hobart which is due to be delivered in 2028.
👥 Where to get help?
👉 You can also refer yourself or someone that you are concerned about to Tasmanian Eating Disorder Service (TEDS) by calling Access Mental Health Phoneline on 1800 332 388 (available 24 hours, 7 days a week).

Ya everyone,
This week is a chance to challenge the growing influence of diet and wellness culture, explore how popular narratives about health, appearance and self-improvement can add to body unhappiness, disordered eating and eating disorders.
Eating disorders and body image concerns can affect anyone, and often aren’t visible from the outside. Through storytelling, education and community connection, you are encouraged to reflect on what wellness means to you and to build healthier relationships with food, movement and your bodies.
Please reach out to us if you need support! You are more than your appearance. 💛

🌟 GOOD LUCK, CODY! 🌟
Tonight we’re cheering on one of our own! 🖤💛❤️
A huge good luck to Cody at tonight’s awards!
Cody is such a valued member of the Karadi team, and we’re incredibly proud to see him being recognised. He brings so much to our workplace and our community, and tonight we’ll all be behind him.
Whatever the result, Cody, we’re proud of you — but we’ll definitely be hoping to hear your name called! 🙌🏽
Let’s get behind him and show Cody some Karadi love in the comments! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Good luck, Cody! The whole Karadi crew is cheering you on! 🖤💛❤️Tonight we will be attending the Tasmanian Training Awards in Nipaluna to support our finalist in the 2026 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year Award, ✨Cody Summers✨.
Cody is a proud pakana man with deep roots to truwana, Cape Barren Island, connected to his family and community through generations of shared knowledge.
Delivering interactive cultural talks and workshops to childcare centres and primary schools inspired Cody to enrol into Certificate III in Early Childhood Education & Care at TasTAFE as he wanted to upskill his knowledge and help children’s minds grow and expand their early stage of learning from a young age.
Cody completed his course in May of this year while working part time as Men’s Program and Cultural Activities Officer with Karadi Aboriginal Corporation.
Cody continues to work part time with Karadi as well as now being employed with a Child Care Centre which he finds extremely rewarding, saying moving forward he wants to use what he has leant to support children by understanding differed ways they learn and helping to build their confidence as they move into the next stages of education.
Cody says , “My work is a testament to the power of knowledge handed down from Elders and I am honoured to continue that lineage through every talk, walk and ceremony I lead. Whether I am leading cultural walks for the Men’s Group, delivering cultural talks, and sharing Aboriginal culture with day care centre, schools and students throughout Tasmania , my goal is the same, to keep our community grounded, our land healthy and our history known.”
Congratulations on being named a finalist Cody, we wish you all the very best for whatever your future holds and the best of luck to all three finalists in this section.
