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.

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

The register does not cover it for nuclear medicine and PET, so for those the nearest nuclear medicine is Queensland X-Ray Cairns Private Hospital in Cairns City, about 0 km away and the nearest PET is Cairns Hospital/Medical Imaging Department in Cairns, about 1 km away.

Queensland X-Ray 189 Lake Street in Cairns is the closest alternative, 0 km from here. Queensland X-Ray Cairns Private Hospital in Cairns City is the next closest at 0 km. Cairns Hospital/Medical Imaging Department is 1 km away in Cairns. Unless your referral says otherwise you can usually take it wherever suits you.

The practice's own listings mention Arthrogram, Computed tomography - CT scan, Interventional procedures, MRI scan, Ultrasound and X-ray. Those are its words, not the register's, and we show only the ones consistent with what it is accredited for.

This page is assembled from the Medicare LSPN register and healthdirect's directory, plus the practice's own website — if any of it is out of date, the practice is right and we are wrong.

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