National Framework for Clinical Obesity Services

The National Framework for Clinical Obesity Services (the Framework) aims to provide the first guidance and recommendations on principles and standards of care for clinical obesity services in Australia. It also addresses key elements of efficient referral pathways. It is intended that the Framework will be used by a range of HCPs across all relevant disciplines as well as consumers and policy makers within different levels of government. The NACOS has a vision to live in a society that provides timely and equitable access to the best available care for the effective management of obesity and its complications. The NACOS members are committed to driving improvements in the quality of obesity care by implementing and evaluating new evidence-based policies and practices in Australia’s health system.
