About these results
In Focus Radiology Cessnock is on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.
Cessnock has other imaging practices, but this is the only one accredited for MRI: PRP Diagnostic Imaging Cessnock is accredited for x-ray, ultrasound and CT; Cessnock District Hospital - Medical Imaging covers x-ray and ultrasound.
If they are booked out, the next nearest MRI is PRP Diagnostic Imaging Maitland in Maitland, about 22 km from Cessnock. After that it is Hunter Imaging Group — East Maitland in East Maitland, 24 km out.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About MRI. An MRI uses a magnetic field rather than x-rays, and the machines are expensive, so far fewer places have one. 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.
