About these results
If you need PET, it will not be in Gilgandra — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is Dubbo Health Service, 59 km away in Dubbo — about 50 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange in Orange (179 km).
What Gilgandra does have locally is x-ray and ultrasound. If your referral is for one of those, you do not need to leave town — see everything Gilgandra has.
To put 59 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 225 are further than Gilgandra 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 Gilgandra sits in one of the gaps.
Current Medicare accreditation runs: Dubbo Health Service to 30 November 2027 and Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange to 31 October 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.
Of the two 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.
scanfinder shows you where imaging is available. Your doctor decides which scan you need — you'll need a referral for all of these.
About PET. A PET scan is the scarcest scan in Australia — the scanners sit almost entirely in capital cities and a handful of large regional hospitals. 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.
