A new eating disorder treatment clinic in Adelaide, Australia, has received a significant funding boost, allowing it to move forward after a five-year delay.
The South Australian and federal governments have delivered the $10 million in extra funding needed for a new eating disorder treatment clinic at Adelaide's Repat Health Precinct. The announcement comes after a five-year delay in the project, which was initially announced in 2019 with a $5 million federal grant. The new facility, set to commence construction next year, will be built around Daw House at the Repat and will serve as a comprehensive centre for patients, clinicians, and researchers.
It will feature a five-bed residential treatment program, while SA Health's existing outpatient and day program will also be relocated to the new site. In addition to the federal and state government's doubling of the project's funding, Breakthrough, the organisation responsible for the clinic's construction, will contribute to the project's cost. 'This is going to be an Australian-leading centre,' South Australian Health Minister Chris Picton said'We will now be able to deliver this centre properly, the first time, to be able to get it right for families that need this help.
