About these results
All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.
Lumus imaging ballina publishes opening hours and one of the two do not, so call first.
If none of them can fit you in, the nearest MRI outside Ballina is Lismore Base Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept in Lismore, about 27 km away.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About MRI. An MRI uses a magnetic field rather than x-rays, and the machines are expensive, so far fewer places have one. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
