Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating and to carry the message of recovery to those who still suffer.

OA caters for all who have a problem with their eating, such as compulsive overeaters, anorexics and bulimics.

OA was established in the USA in 1960 and can now be found throughout the world, which is broken up into various regions.

For more information on Overeaters Anonymous and how it works, go to About OA.

Region Ten includes countries and territories in Australia, the Far East, New Zealand, South East Asia and the Western Pacific Basin. For meeting information in a specific area, we recommend that you contact your nearest OA Intergroup or search the meetings list on the OA World Service Office website . Please note that if there isn't a meeting near you that Region 10 also has an outreach service for loners.
