PET near Cowra, NSW

Cowra has no PET of its own. The nearest one is at Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange in Orange, about 72 km away, roughly 79 minutes by road. After that, the options are Qscan University of Canberra (PET-CT) in Bruce (160 km) and Calvary Bruce Private Hospital in Bruce (162 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 13 PET practices; the closest five are above.

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

To put 72 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 190 are further than Cowra from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

Across New South Wales, 42 practices are accredited for PET and 19 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — PET is not spread evenly, and Cowra sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange to 31 October 2027, Qscan University of Canberra (PET-CT) to 30 November 2027 and Calvary Bruce Private Hospital to 30 June 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 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.
