Membership pathway for Verified Providers

To be eligible for Size Inclusive Health Australia Verified Provider membership, applicants must meet the following requirements:

1. You are committed to evidence-based practice and use an exclusively weight-inclusive and weight-neutral approach in practice, aligned with the principles of HAES. This is evident through your responses to the application questions:
   1. Why does size inclusive care matter to you, and what can someone expect when working with you?
   2. What considerations do you make to ensure your practice is inclusive?
   3. If a patient/client came to see you intentionally seeking weight loss, how would you support them?
   
   

2. You are a health practitioner who practices in an area of health and/or fitness where a person may experience size discrimination or weight bias and hold current registration with an Australian professional board or association. See list of Size Inclusive Health Australia Verified Provider professions.
   
   

3. You have assessed that all of your advertising, marketing and social media is aligned with HAES principles. Download the Size Inclusive Health Australia Principles for Marketing Rubric.
