One Canberra father made the drastic decision to quit his job and move interstate with his child to find more adequate treatment for his child's anorexia nervosa.

Vanessa said that during Haven's three-month hospital stay, they received inconsistent mental health treatment and were seen by several different psychiatrists."We haven't had any consistency with the psych team and if anyone knows anything about autism and children on the spectrum, they need consistency, they need structure, they need things put in place," she said.

Vanessa said Haven's father has quit his job in order to make the move to Melbourne with Haven, where she says they are now in a hospital far better equipped to deal with the eating disorder.
