For scale, 44 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from nuclear medicine than Coolah does.

A 113 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Coolah — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

New South Wales has 103 nuclear medicine practices in total, 42 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Coolah is where it is.

Accreditation windows: Dubbo Base Hospital Radiology Department to 30 September 2027, Lumus Imaging Dubbo to 30 November 2026 and PRP Diagnostic Imaging Dubbo to 31 May 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.
