People living with eating disorders will now be able to access a new specialist residential care facility in Charlestown.
The 12-bed centre is the first of its kind in NSW and will open today, with a price tag of $13.5 million.
The funding is part of a $63 million dollar Federal Government fund to deliver clinics nationally.
Newcastle MP Sharon Claydon says the facility will provide a compassionate and understanding environment.
State Charlestown MP Jodie Harrison says it’s an important addition to support services.
