Nuclear medicine near Jindabyne, NSW

If you need nuclear medicine, it will not be in Jindabyne — nothing here is accredited for it. The closest is South East Radiology Bega Valley, 113 km away in Bega — about 2 hr 09 min in the car. After that, the options are I-MED Radiology Woden in Woden (126 km) and Canberra Imaging Group Garran in Garran (126 km).

There are 18 nuclear medicine practices within 200 km of Jindabyne altogether — the five listed are simply the nearest.

Jindabyne is not without imaging — x-ray and ultrasound are available in town. The town page lists everything Jindabyne has.

To put 113 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 44 are further than Jindabyne from a nuclear medicine service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

A 113 km trip is a day out of your life, not an errand. Ask your referring doctor about the patient travel assistance scheme in your state, and ask the nearest hospital whether a visiting service ever covers Jindabyne — rosters like that do not appear in the accreditation register.

New South Wales has 103 nuclear medicine practices in total, 42 of them outside the capital. The machines cluster where the population is, which is why the nearest one to Jindabyne is where it is.

The register has these accreditations running to: South East Radiology Bega Valley to 30 June 2027, I-MED Radiology Woden to 30 June 2027 and Canberra Imaging Group Garran to 31 May 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 three list opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
