There are 159 MRI practices within 200 km of Balcolyn altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Wyong Hospital/Medical Imaging Department, Prp Diagnostic Imaging Charlestown and I-MED Radiology Kanwal are on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026); Hunter Imaging Gateshead PET and MRI Centre and Hunter Imaging Gateshead are accredited for MRI but not on that list, so a scan there may not attract a rebate.

The register has these accreditations running to: Hunter Imaging Gateshead PET and MRI Centre to 31 August 2027, Hunter Imaging Gateshead to 31 May 2027 and Wyong Hospital/Medical Imaging Department to 31 July 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the five practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
