Medical Imaging Department Mackay Base Hospit…

Medical Imaging Department Mackay Base Hospital is at G 475 Bridge Rd, Mackay QLD 4740, and it is on the Medicare accreditation register. Practice number 1549 in the Medicare register covers it for x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI. That accreditation has run since 29 May 2003 and is current to 31 August 2027.

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.

Phone 07 4885 6000 and their website. These contact details come from healthdirect's directory rather than the practice itself, so confirm them on the call.

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

The register does not cover it for nuclear medicine and PET, so for those the nearest nuclear medicine is Mackay Radiology in North Mackay, about 2 km away and the nearest PET is Qscan Mackay in North Mackay, about 2 km away.

The nearest other accredited practice is Queensland X-Ray Fourways Mackay in West Mackay, about 1 km away. Mackay Radiology in North Mackay is the next closest at 2 km. Queensland X-Ray Pty Ltd is 2 km away in North Mackay. A referral is generally not tied to one clinic, so if the wait here is long it is worth asking whether another practice can see you sooner.

What we hold about this site comes from the Medicare LSPN register and healthdirect's directory, 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.
