Healthy Ears, Better Hearing, Better Listening
The Healthy Ears, Better Hearing, Better Listening program aims to increase access to services offering diagnosis, treatment and management of ear and hearing health for Indigenous children and youth aged 0 to 21 years.
The program supports children and young adults in Dubbo and surrounding communities. Working with preschools, schools and community groups, our qualified Audiologists and Aboriginal Health Workers provide ear screening to assist with the prevention, detection and management of ear diseases more effectively. We also promote healthy ears and hearing in Indigenous children.
How do I access the Healthy Ears, Better Hearing, Better Listening program?
The program is based in our Dubbo office at 106 Talbragar Street, Dubbo. We can also arrange visits to locations outside of Dubbo, including:
- Narromine
- Trangie
- Warren
- Peak Hill
- Nyngan
- Wellington
- Coonamble
- Dunedoo
- Gilgandra

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,
