Eating Disorders Service

The Eating Disorders Service is a specialised service for the assessment and treatment of young people with eating disorders, and their families. The program accepts referrals for young people up to 18 years. The young person is then offered an appointment for a thorough assessment or alternative services that may be more suitable to their needs.

Find out more about the Eating Disorders Service at PCH here.

Gender Diversity Service

The Gender Diversity Service (GDS) is a specialist outpatient service for the assessment and care of children and adolescents experiencing gender diversity issues. Any child or young person up to the age of 18, who lives in Western Australia, can be referred to the GDS for consultation about concerns regarding their gender identity, gender non-conforming behaviour or gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria refers to the distress that a person may experience when their gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to them at birth.
