Diabetes management and support
Our Credentialed Diabetes Educators provide specialist services for adults diagnosed with pre-diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Diabetes in Pregnancy and Gestational Diabetes.
Living with diabetes can be challenging. Our Diabetes Educators can provide you with support and advice in managing blood glucose levels, food choices and medications. They have in-depth knowledge on all aspects of diabetes and can help you to feel more in control of your own health.
How do I access a Diabetes Educator?
We currently offer two types of diabetic services:
- Commercial fee-for-service appointments in our Bathurst and Dubbo clinics – no GP referral is required, and you may be eligible for Medicare rebates if you have a GP Management Plan
- Fully funded services under our chronic disease management program – a GP referral is required
Support and management is also available in a group setting through our Type 2 and You program and via our Let’s Talk Diabetes Facebook page.
To find out more about Type 2 and You and when the next group will commence, please contact us on 1300 402 585.

After Hours Service
Marathon Health’s response to COVID-19
A message from our CEO
We are watching the COVID-19 situation develop in our communities and our thoughts are with impacted communities.
Following advice from the Australian Government about physical distancing, we will cease face to face appointments and outreach services, and transition what services we can to virtual servicing via video and phone.
These changes will be effective from Friday 20 March at 5pm, until further notice.
During this time, our two key aims have been to maintain important health services to isolated and vulnerable people, while keeping our staff and their families safe.
Our After Hours GP clinic and telephone services will continue to operate as normal. Please visit After Hours to find out more information.
What this means
- Our physical office locations will be temporarily closed; however, staff will be working from virtual locations, and can still be reached via email or mobile during regular business hours
- For specific services, you may able to speak to your regular staff contact from the comfort of your own home. Our team will be in contact with all clients to ensure the transition to telephone/video delivery is as seamless as possible
- For those services where we are unable to offer telephone/video facilities, one of our team will be in touch to discuss alternative arrangements and reschedule for a later date
We understand this may cause stress in an already uncertain time, and we will endeavour to communicate and provide alternative options wherever possible.
For more general information about COVID-19, please visit credible sources such as health.gov.au.
If you are feeling anxious or worried, there are some great resources and forums available through Beyond Blue. If you are in a crisis, please call triple zero or go to your nearest emergency department. Find 24/7 support in your area here.
Thank you for your support during this difficult time,
