Occupational therapy
Our Occupational Therapists will work with you to help you participate in the occupations of everyday life. Occupations include things you need to do, want to do and are expected to do.
They can help you:
- Find new ways of doing activities to make them easier for you, eg showering or dressing
- Change your environment to suit your needs (home and environment modifications)
- Assess and prescribe new equipment, eg wheelchairs
- Help you find ways to participate in the things you enjoy
How do I access an Occupational Therapist
Our Occupational Therapists service many towns in Central, Southern and Western NSW.
You can access an Occupational Therapist through the NDIS, an enhanced primary care plan through a GP, through private health or fee-for-service.

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,
