To put 126 km in context: of the 1544 NSW towns we hold, 88 are further than Jindabyne from a PET service. It is a real trip, and worth planning as one.

126 km is a real trip, not a detail. Before you drive it, it is worth asking two things: whether you qualify for your state's patient travel assistance scheme, which exists for exactly this, and whether anything closer runs a visiting service — some regional hospitals do, on a roster we cannot see in the register.

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 Jindabyne sits in one of the gaps.

Current Medicare accreditation runs: Canberra Imaging Group Garran to 31 May 2027, The Canberra Hospital Medical Imaging to 31 May 2027 and Atlas Medical Imaging 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 one lists opening hours. Ring before you go rather than assuming — hours move, and not every accredited scan runs every day.
