Presenter

Dr Bronwyn Raykos

• Dr Bronwyn Raykos is a clinical psychologist, researcher, and founder of Morgan Psychology – a private practice dedicated to compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing eating disorders and co-occurring difficulties. Dr Raykos has developed Morgan’s online platform, offering advanced training in evidence-based treatment for mental health clinicians and virtual care services (clinical psychology and dietetics), to enable clients to access support when they need it, wherever they live.
  Based in Western Australia (WA), she also works with WA Country Health Service, extending her commitment to improving access to high quality treatment in regional and remote WA.
  Dr Raykos holds a Master of Clinical Psychology/PhD. She was awarded the 2021 ANZAED Distinguished Achievement Award for her contributions to the field of eating disorders, and received the 2024 Innovation Award from North Metropolitan Health Service for her work developing an innovative, mobile application, Grounded, that offers evidence-based support and clinical monitoring for patients with eating disorders at the point in which they ask for help.
  Having worked at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, and led the eating disorders program at The Centre for Clinical Interventions, WA, Dr Raykos is passionate about transforming care pathways through digital innovation, early intervention, and co-design.
  She is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Eating Disorders and her research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Describe the current landscape of eating disorder treatment in Western Australia, with a focus on regional and remote areas.
• Summarise key findings from consultations with over 150 individuals affected by eating disorders, and discuss how these insights have informed culturally appropriate screening tools and frameworks for Aboriginal children and adolescents.
• Explain the design and roll-out of a state-wide training and supervision model supporting CAMHS clinicians in WA.
• Reflect on the relevance of the WA-based approaches and propose how these learnings could be adapted or applied within the Northern Territory context.
