Medicare-eligible MRI. This practice appears on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (list last updated 17 February 2026).

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 03 8345 1663 and their website. These contact details come from healthdirect's directory rather than the practice itself, so confirm them on the call.

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

For PET you would need somewhere else: the nearest PET is Capital Radiology Footscray - WPH in Footscray, about 7 km away.

The nearest other accredited practice is Capital Radiology Sunshine Private Hospital in St Albans, about 0 km away. Radiology Imaging Solutions - St Albans in St Albans is the next closest at 0 km. GP's Radiology is 2 km away in St Albans. 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.

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