Medicare-eligible MRI. This practice appears on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (list last updated 17 February 2026). That means a Medicare rebate is possible for an MRI done here. It does not mean every MRI here is rebated: that turns on the item your referral asks for and on what this practice charges. Ask them when you book.

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