PET near Bundanoon, NSW

Bundanoon does not have a PET scanner. The nearest one is at South East Radiology Nowra in Nowra, about 37 km away, roughly 75 minutes by road. After that, the options are Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Shellharbour in Shellharbour (52 km) and Wollongong PET & Nuclear Imaging in Wollongong (59 km).

There are 35 PET practices within 200 km of Bundanoon altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Bundanoon has no accredited imaging practice of its own that we can see in the register, so any scan means travelling. The closest imaging of any kind is South East Radiology Bowral Hospital in Bowral, 22 km away.

To put 37 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 321 are further than Bundanoon from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

New South Wales has 42 PET practices in total, 19 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Bundanoon is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: South East Radiology Nowra to 30 June 2027, Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Shellharbour to 30 November 2027 and Wollongong PET & Nuclear Imaging 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 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.
