Medicare-eligible MRI. This practice appears on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (list last updated 17 February 2026).

What you actually pay still depends on the item number on your referral and this practice's billing policy, so ask before the appointment.

It is one of seven accredited practices in Melbourne, so it is worth ringing more than one if the wait matters to you.

For PET you would need somewhere else: the nearest PET is Lumus Imaging Bridge Road in Richmond, about 3 km away.

If this one does not suit, Yarra Radiology South Yarra is 1 km away in South Yarra. Cardiolab in South Yarra is the next closest at 1 km. I-MED Radiology Victoriahouse is 2 km away in South Yarra. A referral is not usually tied to a single practice — ask if you would rather go elsewhere.

Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room.
