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 Heatherbrae sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: Hunter Imaging Metford to 31 July 2027, Hunter New England Imaging - Calvary Mater Newcastle (Nuclear Medicine & PET) to 30 November 2027 and PRP Diagnostic Imaging East Maitland to 30 November 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. 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.
