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
