Current Medicare accreditation runs: 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 four 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.

scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.

About nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer, so it needs a licensed department rather than a general imaging room. Accreditation means a practice meets the Medicare requirements for it — it is not a ranking, and we publish no ratings. Distances are straight-line from the centre of the town, so the drive is a little longer.
