Appetite for Change 2026 Conference

March 12th & 13th 2026 (AEDT) | Held virtually, accessible globally

The Appetite for Change Conference is the first of its kind: a two-day event exploring eating, feeding, and body at the intersections of neurodivergence, queerness, transness, chronic illness, disability, and other marginalised identities.

For too long, mainstream systems and services have shaped how we understand and respond to eating disorders, differences, and difficulties, and relationship with body. This conference exists to centre and uplift the voices, needs, and experiences of those so often overlooked, dismissed, or harmed by them.

Appetite for Change is for clinicians, people with lived or living experience, carers, support workers, researchers, educators, allies, and those who are many of these at once.

Held virtually and accessible globally, this isn’t your typical eating disorder conference, but there’s room for everyone at the (proverbial) table. We’d love for you to join us.
