To put 24 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 412 are further than Casino 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 Casino is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Lismore Base Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept to 31 October 2027, Tweed Valley Hospital — Cudgen to 31 October 2027 and South Coast Radiology John Flynn Hospital to 30 November 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 none publishes opening hours we could confirm. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
