Eating Disorder Treatment

At Aston Private, we support people with eating disorders whose health is stable enough for treatment outside hospital. Your care may include medical appointments, mental health support, nutrition advice, as well as practical support, depending on your needs.

Following an assessment, we may recommend residential care in a private Byron Bay residence or outpatient treatment through Aston at Home, available in Byron Bay and selected areas of the Northern Rivers, NSW.

Before you begin, we review your physical and mental health, medical history and any relevant test results. Further tests or assessments may be needed to understand which setting and level of support are appropriate for you. If you need hospital treatment or medical stabilisation, that takes priority before we can consider an Aston Private program. ^[2][3]

Your care considers your medical and nutritional needs, as well as the thoughts, feelings, and situations that affect your relationship with food. We also look at concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, or ongoing pressure to meet high expectations.

Eating disorder treatment usually includes psychological care, medical check-ups, and nutritional support. How often you meet and the type of care you receive depends on your diagnosis, health, and progress. ^[2][3]

Based on your needs, your program might include:

• One-on-one psychological therapy focused on eating disorder recovery
• Medical reviews and physical health monitoring
• Nutritional advice from an appropriately qualified dietitian
• Practical support with meals and everyday routines
• Treatment for accompanying mental health concerns
• Family or partner involvement, with your consent

Aston at Home provides coordinated outpatient treatment for suitable clients whose eating disorder can be safely managed while they continue living at home.

Available in Byron Bay and selected areas of the Northern Rivers, NSW, your program brings professional care and practical support into your daily life. This lets you work on challenges as they arise, including meals, shopping, family routines, and social situations.

Depending on your needs, care may include psychological therapy, medical reviews, dietetic guidance and agreed practical support. We coordinate your appointments within a personalised treatment plan and regularly review your health and progress.

Aston at Home may also support the transition after hospital or residential treatment, where clinically appropriate.

Outpatient treatment requires sufficient medical stability and appropriate support between appointments. It does not provide continuous supervision or hospital-level care. We assess suitability before treatment begins and review it throughout your program. ^[2][3]
