About Butterfly
The Butterfly Foundation was founded in August 2002 by Claire Vickery who found many 'gaps' in the public health system for those suffering from eating disorders. The Foundation is a community based charitable organisation that supports eating disorder sufferers and their carers through direct financial relief, advocacy, awareness campaigns, health promotion and early intervention work, professional training in primary and secondary schools and we support research into eating disorders and body image.
The granting of tax deductible status as a Public Benevolent Institution by the Australian Tax Office in January 2003 illustrates the increasing awareness within the community that eating disorders are a growing problem affecting people of all ages, gender, and across society in need of urgent reform.
