Queensland X-Ray Douglas Discovery Rise

You will find Queensland X-Ray Douglas Discovery Rise at Clinical Practice Building, G 1 James Cook Dr, Douglas QLD 4814. Practice number 7314 in the Medicare register covers it for x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI. That accreditation has run since 23 July 2014 and is current to 30 November 2026.

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. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the MBS item, who wrote your referral, and the practice's own billing policy — ask when you book.

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

This practice is not accredited for nuclear medicine and PET. If your referral is for one of those, nuclear medicine and PET are both at The Townsville Hospital/Radiology Dept in Douglas, about 1 km away.

The Townsville Hospital/Radiology Dept in Douglas is the closest alternative, 1 km from here. I-MED Radiology Thuringowa in Thuringowa Central is the next closest at 4 km. North Queensland X-Ray Services (Aitkenvale/Townsville) is 4 km away in Aitkenvale. Unless your referral says otherwise you can usually take it wherever suits you.

In its own words, the practice offers CT Dentascan, Computed Tomography (CT), EOS Imaging, 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.

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