Nuclear medicine near Condobolin, NSW

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Condobolin — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo in Dubbo, about 165 km away, roughly 2 hr 32 min by road. After that, the options are Lumus Imaging Dubbo in Dubbo (165 km) and Dubbo Base Hospital Radiology Department in Dubbo (167 km).

What Condobolin does have locally is x-ray and ultrasound. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Condobolin has.

To put 165 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 21 are further than Condobolin from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

That is a long way to go for a scan, and there is no way to make 165 km shorter. Two things are worth knowing: every state and territory runs a patient travel assistance scheme for people who have to travel for care, and the local health service or your referring doctor can tell you whether you qualify. Some regional hospitals also run visiting services on a roster, which the accreditation register cannot show us — worth one phone call before you plan the trip.

Across New South Wales, 103 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 42 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Condobolin sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo to 31 May 2027, Lumus Imaging Dubbo to 30 November 2026 and Dubbo Base Hospital Radiology Department to 30 September 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.
