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 Coolamon is where it is.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Wagga Wagga to 31 July 2027, I-MED Radiology Borella Rd, Albury to 31 July 2027 and Qscan University of Canberra (PET-CT) 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
