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

Ballina has three accredited practices in total — this is one of them, and a referral is generally not tied to any of them.

For nuclear medicine and PET you would need somewhere else: nuclear medicine and PET are both at Lismore Base Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept in Lismore, about 27 km away.

If this one does not suit, Ballina Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept is 0 km away in Ballina. North Coast Radiology Ballina in Ballina is the next closest at 0 km. North Coast Radiology Goonellabah is 22 km away in Goonellabah. A referral is not usually tied to a single practice — ask if you would rather go elsewhere.

In its own words, the practice offers CT Scan, Echocardiogram, Interventional Procedures, Ultrasound and X-Ray. We keep provider-published service names inside the scope of what the register accredits, so a chain's national menu never becomes a claim about this branch.

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from the Medicare LSPN register and healthdirect's directory, plus the practice's own website — if any of it is out of date, the practice is right and we are wrong.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