PET near Coonamble, NSW

If you need PET, it will not be in Coonamble — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Dubbo Health Service, 145 km away in Dubbo — about 2 hr 00 min in the car. It is the only PET service within 200 km of Coonamble.

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

To put 145 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 65 are further than Coonamble from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 145 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 Coonamble — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

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 Coonamble is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: Dubbo Health Service to 30 November 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.
