Barwon Health (Barwon Medical Imaging)

Barwon Health (Barwon Medical Imaging) — North Geelong is an accredited imaging practice at 45 Ballarat Rd, North Geelong VIC 3215. Its Medicare Location Specific Practice Number is 1664, and the register lists it as accredited for x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI — accredited since 29 May 2003, current to 31 August 2027.

MRI accredited, not Medicare-listed. This practice has an accredited MRI unit, but it does not appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list. An MRI here may not attract a Medicare rebate. Ask about the out-of-pocket cost before you book.

Phone 03 4215 0300 and their website. Those details are the ones the practice publishes itself.

It is the only accredited imaging practice in North Geelong that we hold.

The register does not cover it for nuclear medicine and PET, so for those nuclear medicine and PET are both at Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Geelong in Geelong, about 4 km away.

Lake Imaging Geelong Medical Imaging in Newtown is the closest alternative, 3 km from here. Geelong Breast Clinic in Geelong is the next closest at 4 km. Lake Imaging St John of God Hospital Geelong is 4 km away in Geelong. Unless your referral says otherwise you can usually take it wherever suits you.

What we hold about this site comes from the Medicare LSPN register and a hand-verified check, plus the practice's own website.

An MRI uses a magnetic field rather than x-rays, and the machines are expensive, so far fewer places have one.
