Nuclear medicine near Cooma, NSW

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Cooma — nothing here is accredited for it. The nearest one is at South East Radiology Bega Valley in Bega, about 81 km away, roughly 1 hr 35 min by road. After that, the options are South East Radiology Moruya in Moruya (93 km) and Canberra Imaging Group Garran in Garran (99 km).

There are 17 nuclear medicine practices within 200 km of Cooma altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Cooma is not without imaging — x-ray, ultrasound and CT are available in town. The town page lists everything Cooma has.

To put 81 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 78 are further than Cooma from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

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 Cooma sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: South East Radiology Bega Valley to 30 June 2027, South East Radiology Moruya to 30 June 2027 and Canberra Imaging Group Garran 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 two list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
