156 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

New South Wales has 523 ultrasound practices in total, 218 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Cobar is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Bourke Multi-Purpose Service to 30 June 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the one practice listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and none publishes opening hours we could confirm. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
