MRI near Braidwood, NSW

If you need MRI, it will not be in Braidwood — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at Canberra Imaging Group Queanbeyan in Queanbeyan, about 52 km away. After that, the options are South East Radiology Moruya in Moruya (58 km) and Qscan Kingston in Kingston (61 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 55 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

The eligible ones are South East Radiology Moruya and Qscan Kingston — they appear on the Government's Medicare-eligible MRI list (last updated 17 February 2026). Canberra Imaging Group Queanbeyan, Garran Medical Imaging and Garran Medical Imaging - Turner run an accredited MRI unit that is not on the list, so ask what an MRI there would cost you.

To put 52 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 110 are further than Braidwood from a MRI service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

New South Wales has 204 MRI practices in total, 84 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Braidwood is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Canberra Imaging Group Queanbeyan to 31 May 2028, South East Radiology Moruya to 30 June 2027 and Qscan Kingston to 30 June 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. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
