To put 41 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 306 are further than Bowral from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

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 Bowral sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Shellharbour to 30 November 2027, Wollongong PET & Nuclear Imaging to 30 June 2027 and Lumus Imaging Wollongong to 31 October 2026. 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 two list opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.

About PET. A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals. 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.
