Who we are

In 2015, Marathon Health was established to address gaps in health services for people living in regional, rural and remote areas.

We exist because country Australians don’t have the same level of accessible healthcare as their metro counterparts – and we’re committed to changing this.

Each year we support thousands of people living in country Australia to access the healthcare they need, closer to home.

Through a focus on collaboration, innovation and rural health workforce development, we aim to reduce inequity of access and improve health and wellbeing outcomes in the communities where we live and work

Vision

Empowering communities to thrive through equitable health and wellbeing

Purpose

To collaborate with communities to create the services they need to improve their quality of life

Our reach


2025-2029 Strategic Plan

Our Strategic Plan outlines the core principles that will guide us, the goals we aim to achieve over the next five years, how we will achieve these goals and how we will measure our impact.

By listening to community need, investing in our team, building pathways for a sustainable regional health workforce and partnering with organisations that share our values – we’re helping country Australians to thrive.
