Eating disorders affect 1.1 million Australians every year, and this number is on the rise.
Together, we can prevent eating disorders and negative body image, ensure the best treatments are available, and that appropriate care and support is there for those affected.
Thank you for making a difference to ensure a future where no Australian lives with an eating disorder or body image concerns.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch at info@butterfly.org.au or call us on 02 9412 4499 – we’d love to hear from you!

Your donation will be used to prevent eating disorders and negative body image, ensure the best treatments are available, and that appropriate care and support is there for those affected.
Unless specified, we’ll use your donation where it’s needed most at the time of receiving it. This could be for our education programs, which aim to prevent eating disorders and body image concerns. It could be ensuring we have trained professionals to take urgent calls on our National Helpline, or ensuring our peer workers are trained to facilitate Support Groups. Your gift could also go towards Wandi Nerida, our residential treatment facility, or Next Steps, a program aimed to reduce the risk of relapse and supports long term recovery of patients who have just finished their residential or hospital treatment.
We currently accept credit cards and debit cards, Electronic Funds Transfer, and cheques – but please be mindful that banks are removing cheques soon! If you’d like our bank details to set up a direct debit from your account, please call us on 02 9412 4499.
