PET near Bathurst, NSW

There is no PET scanner in Bathurst. The closest is Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange, 47 km away in Orange — about 50 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub in Kingswood (111 km) and Nepean Hospital Medical Imaging (NBMLHD) in Penrith (112 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 30 PET practices; the closest five are above.

What Bathurst does have locally is x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Bathurst has.

For scale, 265 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from PET than Bathurst does.

Across New South Wales, 42 practices are accredited for PET and 19 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Bathurst sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange to 31 October 2027, Castlereagh Imaging Nepean Health Hub to 31 July 2027 and Nepean Hospital Medical Imaging (NBMLHD) to 31 October 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
