PET near Glen Innes, NSW

If you need PET, it will not be in Glen Innes — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is I-MED Radiology Coffs Harbour Specialist Medical Centre, 146 km away in Coffs Harbour — about 3 hr 08 min in the car. After that, the options are Hunter New England Imaging - Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in Tamworth (168 km) and Lismore Base Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept in Lismore (182 km).

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

To put 146 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 62 are further than Glen Innes from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

There is no way around the distance: 146 km each way. Before you commit to it, two things are worth a phone call — your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for people in exactly this position, and whether any service closer to Glen Innes visits on a roster. The register cannot show us visiting services.

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 Glen Innes sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: I-MED Radiology Coffs Harbour Specialist Medical Centre to 31 August 2027, Hunter New England Imaging - Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital to 30 June 2027 and Lismore Base Hospital/Medical Imaging Dept to 31 October 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the three 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.
