MRI near Grenfell, NSW

Grenfell does not have an MRI scanner. The closest is Alpenglow Young Diagnostic Imaging, 48 km away in Young — about 56 minutes in the car. After that, the options are Lumus Imaging Bloomfield in Orange (107 km) and Western NSW Medical Imaging Services - Orange in Bloomfield (107 km).

Widen the search to 200 km and there are 33 MRI practices; the closest five are above.

All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.

Locally, Grenfell is covered for x-ray. A referral for that can be done here: everything Grenfell has.

For scale, 122 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from MRI than Grenfell does.

Across New South Wales, 204 practices are accredited for MRI and 84 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Grenfell sits in one of the gaps.

Accreditation windows: Alpenglow Young Diagnostic Imaging to 30 November 2027, Lumus Imaging Bloomfield to 31 July 2027 and Western NSW Medical Imaging Services - Orange to 31 August 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.
