To put 110 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 50 are further than Grenfell from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

There is no way around the distance: 110 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 Grenfell visits on a roster. The register cannot show us visiting services.

Across New South Wales, 103 practices are accredited for nuclear medicine and 42 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — nuclear medicine is not spread evenly, and Grenfell sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Orange to 31 October 2027, Prp Diagnostic Imaging-Bathurst to 31 May 2027 and Imaging Associates Wagga Wagga 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 one lists opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
